Life can only be found in the present moment. Based on the story of the Zen student asking his teacher for his most advanced teaching, Thich Nhat Hanh shares his own experiences on how to tend to the present moment and take care of sadness, anger, loss, and injustice. Using examples and often humorous stories, the topics offer concrete practices and contain teachings that led to the author's best-selling books. This version of Truly Seeing is digitally re-mastered from the original analog recordings of this classic talk given during a retreat in 1989.

Thích Nhất Hạnh was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet and peace activist who now lived in southwest France where he was in exile for many years. Born Nguyễn Xuân Bảo, Thích Nhất Hạnh joined a Zen (Vietnamese: Thiền) monastery at the age of 16, and studied Buddhism as a novitiate. Upon his ordination as a monk in 1949, he assumed the Dharma name Thích Nhất Hạnh. Thích is an honorary family name used by all Vietnamese monks and nuns, meaning that they are part of the Shakya (Shakyamuni Buddha) clan. He was often considered the most influential living figure in the lineage of Lâm Tế (Vietnamese Rinzai) Thiền, and perhaps also in Zen Buddhism as a whole.
