Edited with commentary by Brother Phap Luu and illustrated by Jeanne Fries, this luminous book is the first in the new Zen Doors series—a collection that opens fresh pathways into Thay’s teachings, making the most-widely known, yet often misunderstood, Buddhist concepts accessible for modern life.

🌿 Breathing together, we remember Dr. Tho Ha Vinh — teacher, humanitarian, and friend of the world. His life was a true offering of love in action, reminding us that happiness is not an individual pursuit, but a collective path toward healing and harmony

We honor his continuation through the countless lives he touched across generations and cultures, and through his book A Culture of Happiness — a guide to rediscovering the sacredness of all life and nurturing a more compassionate world.

“Rediscovering the sacredness of all life forms is also the foundation to reconnect on a deeper level with our fellow human beings.”
—Dr. Tho Ha Vinh

With tender hearts, we mourn the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall, whose fierce compassion and tireless dedication to peace, justice, and our planet continue to inspire countless beings.

In her foreword to the recent edition of Thich Nhat Hanh’s Being Peace, she wrote: “As I write these words, we are living in dark times. Fortunately, there are many brave people fighting for peace and justice and an end to discrimination... Being Peace was published in 1987, over thirty years ago, but the words still resonate and can bring comfort to those who are praying and working for a better world.”

We are deeply grateful for her voice, her vision, and her great love for the Earth and all its inhabitants. May her continuation bring light and courage to future generations 🌿

🌿 Breathing together, we remember Dr. Larry Ward (True Great Sound) — teacher, author, and true brother on the path.

Larry was a senior Dharma teacher in the Plum Village tradition of Thích Nhất Hạnh, and co-founder of the Lotus Institute with his wife, Dr. Peggy Rowe-Ward. He invited us to look deeply into the roots of suffering and to embrace the healing power of mindfulness, love, and community.

At Parallax Press, we are honored to continue his voice of clarity, courage, and compassion through his books America’s Racial Karma and Love’s Garden. His teachings, like the sound of a great bell, will keep resonating in our hearts.

With palms joined, we hold Peggy and all who loved Larry in our collective embrace. 🌸
