    Every moment is a moment of rebirth.

    In this profound short book, Thich Nhat Hanh offers clear, accessible reflections on the nature of reincarnation—which he calls “continuation.” 

    Our thoughts, speech, and actions are our true continuation. Shaped by how we live and what we consume, they carry us forward into the future—far beyond the boundaries of this body.

    When we release the illusion of a separate self, we open the door to a liberating insight: rebirth is not somewhere else, someday later. It is happening now, in every moment.
    Thich Nhat Hanh, a world-renowned spiritual teacher and peace activist, was born in Vietnam in 1926 and became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. Over seven decades of teaching, he published more than one hundred books, which have sold millions of copies. Exiled from Vietnam in 1966 for promoting peace, his teachings on Buddhism as a path to social and political transformation are responsible for bringing the mindfulness movement to the West. He established the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in France, now the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe and the heart of a growing community of mindfulness practice centers around the world. Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh passed away in 2022 at the age of ninety-five at his root temple, Tu Hieu, in Hue, Vietnam, surrounded by his beloved community.
