The Energy of Prayer: How to Deepen Your Spiritual Practice by Thích Nhất Hạnh
5.0
In only the way he can, TNH teaches about the universal concept of prayer, acknowledging what is central in all practices while noticing what is different for Buddhists, adherents of Abrahamic religions, and agnostics.
I read a negative review of this book which expressed frustration with the idea that TNH believes prayer works. Sorry, random reviewer, TNH is a religious person. Most religious people hold religious views, which are inherently metaphysical views. It’s exhausting to see the ways people (usually in the United States) try to bend and contort teachers in religious traditions to be as secular-minded as they are. Let these religious teachers be religious teachers. If you don’t want religion, don’t listen.
