No Mud No Lotus: The Art of Transforming Suffering by Thich Nhat Hanh

No Mud, No Lotus: The Art of Transforming Suffering by Thich Nhat Hanh explores the relationship between suffering and happiness. He invites readers to acknowledge difficult experience rather than continually covering it with distraction.

Practices of stopping, mindful breathing and concentration support the discussion. A compassionate Buddhist approach to living with difficulty, not an instruction to endure harm or a substitute for professional care when needed.
