About this audiobook
Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the foremost teachers of Buddhism in the West, and here he explores Buddhism and Christianity, and the concepts of soul, impermanence, mindfulness and much more. "Everything is impermanent," he says. "Not only is your body impermanent, but your feelings, your perceptions, your mental formations, your consciousness also.
