The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming suffering into Peace, Joy and Liberation, by Thich Nhat Hanh

From Amazon:

"In The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching, Thich Nhat Hanh introduces us to the core teachings of Buddhism and shows us that the Buddha's teachings are accessible and applicable to our daily lives. With poetry and clarity, Nhat Hanh imparts comforting wisdom about the nature of suffering and its role in creating compassion, love, and joy--all qualities of enlightenment. Covering such significant teachings as the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Three Doors of Liberation, the Three Dharma Seals, and the Seven Factors of Awakening, The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching is a radiant beacon on Buddhist thought for the initiated and uninitiated alike."

I just saw this press release about a new children's book by none other than the actor/comedian Jim Carrey:
the whole book is about a metaphor used in our Buddhism book....really.
Check out the press release here:
