Understanding Our Mind: 50 Verses on Buddhist Psychology by Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh presents the basic teachings of Buddhist applied psychology through fifty verses on the nature of consciousness, drawn from the fifth-century master Vasubandhu and the teachings of the Avatamsaka Sutra.

He describes the mind as a field in which seeds of suffering, anger, happiness and peace are planted, and explains how recognizing, embracing and looking deeply into feelings and perceptions can water seeds of joy and transform suffering.
