In this sequel to A Pebble for Your Pocket, Zen teacher, poet, and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh looks deeply at the issues that confront young people in today's society. Applying his unique insights to anger, family conflict, drug use, and sexual responsibility, he makes the ancient teachings of the Buddha relevant to adolescents by offering mindfulness practices as tools to help transform the suffering in their everyday lives.
Under the Rose Apple Tree is intended for ages 10-13, although it may be a helpful resource for teenagers and young adults alike.
