'Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man, for he is humble and devout. he is a scholar of immense intellectual capacity. His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brother-hood, to humanity."- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the greatest teachers of our time. he reaches from the heights of insight down to the deepest places of the absolutely ordinary. In Fragrant palm leaves, the venerable poet emerges poignantly disclosing the essence of enlightenment, and also life itself!"- Robert Thurman, professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies, Columbia University.
"One of the sweetest and most personally revealing of Thich Nhat Hanh's books, it shows the planting of his seeds of remarkable wisdom. With a poet's gift, this young monk straddles the world East and West, with his own Dharma body and heart."-Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart
"It is downright enlightening to read Thich Nhat Hanh's Journal. He wrote these entries during unsettled times in the history of Vietnam and in his own life. To read his thoughts is to understand the connection between public life and private life, and that such 'interbeing' makes for ecstatic joy." ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
"This [is an] informative and inspiring book.... Most striking and revealing are the author's intense internal struggles between his sublime nature mysticism...[and] his surprising affinities with the liberation theologies of the past few decades. "-Publishers Weekly
