Every moment is a moment of rebirth. And because the future is made of the present we must
live so that we have peace freedom and happiness in this moment. In this book with
characteristic clarity and simplicity Thich Nhat Hanh offers deep reflections on reincarnation
or 'continuation.' Using intuitive examples - a teapot parents and children banyan trees and
more - Thich Nhat Hanh breaks down what it means to go beyond the notions of birth and death.
Influenced by what and how we consume our actions of thought speech and body are our true
continuation. Moving into the future as the totality of our actions we can see ourselves as
more than this body and mind. When we free ourselves from a limited conception of who we are -
when we let go of self-attachment - we make possible a true understanding of rebirth.
