The Monks and Me

Mary Paterson spends forty days at Thich Nhat Hanh's monastery in France and returns home to Canada calm and peaceful. This book is a collection of reflections on the thoughts Hahn shares during her visit as well as contemplation on little day-to-day events during her time in the monastery. It's a quiet book, a thoughtful book, and reading it is a little like spending a few hours in a monastery yourself.
