Hi Steve; Yes I have that book. It's a great book. Really good. It was amongst the books I had in my first two years. The following to that is: "Understanding Our Mind". I got this last one during a long retreat and the Ven Master TNH signed on it. Sister Chang Khong who is the directorate from the Plum Village Monastery told us that the Master stayed with each book before he signed a little bit and passed onto them his mind to mind dharma. It pleased me to hear that. Nonetheless I never went to much into it in depth as I found this last book rather complicated and think that needs from the Master to be there and ask him questions continuously arising in me every time I tried to get through it. Second book mentioned was handed onto me by a many years experienced nun in the practice . So sorry to say about myself that I haven't honoured much so far the trust given and still I'm in "The heart of the Buddha Teachings" which is fine by me. No rush.
