Here's an audio book by Thich Nhat Hanh called "Looking Deeply".

Looking Deeply (Digitally Remastered) is a selection of talks by Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh offered during meditation retreats throughout North America. In these lectures, Thay, as his followers call him, talks about mindfulness within the context of the social and political issues of our time. Although these talks were recorded in 1987, the messages they bring us are still highly relevant today.

      So much for "interact with people nicely"…

        Mate you haven't seen people who goes to the temple, prayed and yet treat other people like crap…

          Fair comment. Worth bearing in mind that the same also applies to any other place of worship; churches, mosques or synagogues…human nature I'm afraid.

          Religion doesn't automatically make people nice, but real spirituality & faith helps…some folks can always benefit from a little guidance! ;)

          Tam…. imagine how worse they could be WITHOUT regligion…

          edit: Most religion teaches you the right thing… how well it sinks it depends on the individual…
          it could take people their lifetime to change…

    Not like it gonna bring peace to the world…look at HISTORY for a clearer picture

      Like with everything in life
      it depends on what the individual person learns from the teaching.

      Maybe some people see something of value while others like you might not…

      hmm history tells me that both irreligion and religion are as bad as each other
      the pride involved from human effort in both can be blinding, and theres only one that can help

        irreligion

        WTF, that is a real word now??? Did we really need another word for 'agnostic' or 'atheist'…or my personal favourite…'infidels'? :o

        "Die irreligious people, die" just doesn't have the same oomph from the militant extremist perspective! :p

          Why do people want to kill me all the time??
          I think I'll change my name to irreligious - no one ever says that.
          I didn't realise I was your personal favourite, StewBalls - how nice.

          Well since you used 3 words and i covered it all in 1. i would call mine a bargain.

          @Infidel, ROFLMFAO…that's a great call! That's why you're my favourite, I laughed so hard I almost spat Larb all over my keyboard. :)

          @beserkk, no you just found a fourth that essentially means exactly the same thing as the other three…all you did was add 33% more to the linguistic waste! :p

    Yes religion doesn't mean that person is good
    such as the numerous reports of priest molestation scandals etc..

    And just cos someone wear a priest outfit don't mean that they are any closer to god/or whatever higher being..

    ==

    But I don't believe the author is trying to spread religion.
    Just teachings on how to live a better life..

    If you can improve your life in some way from reading the book
    then that is a good thing..

    Ah MINDFULNESS!
    'Mindfulness means paying attention with openness, curiosity and flexibility.'

    (may be seen as the antithesis of dogmatic religions)
    It is so good to see people fight over it…
    thanks for a good laugh!

    read his biography to see how he practised during the vietnam war
    and how he was persecuted by both sides because he would nto take sides when he and his people went to give first aid to them. some died but both sides finally let him alone to help their wounded, all wounded.

    buddhism was created for atheists and is atheist, agonstic and humanist, rational and actually was a direct threat to the religions of the time.
