À propos de ce produit

Product Information

In this raw and moving memoir, Claude Thomas tells the dramatic story of his service in Vietnam, his subsequent emotional collapse, and how he was ultimately able to find healing and peace. Thomas went to Vietnam at the age of eighteen, where he served as a crew chief on assault helicopters. By the end of his tour, he had been awarded numerous medals, including the Purple Heart. He had also killed many people, witnessed horrifying cruelty, and narrowly escaped death on a number of occasions. When Thomas returned home he found that he continued to live in a state of war. He was overwhelmed by feelings of guilt, fear, anger, and despair, all of which were intensified by the rejection he experienced as a Vietnam veteran. For years, Thomas struggled with post-traumatic stress, drug and alcohol addiction, isolation, and even homelessness. A turning point came when he attended a meditation retreat for Vietnam veterans led by the renowned Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh. Here he encountered the Buddhist teachings on meditation and mindfulness, which helped him to stop running from his past and instead confront the pain of his war experiences directly and compassionately. Thomas was eventually ordained as a Zen monk and teacher, and he began making pilgrimages to promote peace and nonviolence in war-scarred places around the world including Bosnia, Auschwitz, Afghanistan, Vietnam, and the Middle East. At Hell's Gate is Thomas's dramatic coming-of-age story and a spiritual travelogue from the horrors of combat to discovering a spiritual approach to healing violence and ending war from the inside out. In simple and direct language, Thomas shares timeless teachings on healing emotional suffering and offers us practical guidance in using mindfulness and compassion to transform our lives.

Reviews

"Written with relentless courage and utter compassion, this account of violence and transformation is one of the most amazing and wonderful stories I've ever read."-Michael Herr, author ofDispatches"This is a book of great power. Thomas's pilgrimage to find living peace in a world full of terror and war gives us a wonderfully practical lesson in how to lift ourselves out of the insanity of fear, hatred, violence, and trauma. His singularly courageous story has the power to heal, to inspire, to teach."-John Laurence, former CBS News correspondent and author ofThe Cat from Hue: A Vietnam War Story"A powerful, wise, and genuinely profound spiritual odyssey from the insanity of violence (in the world, within ourselves, and in the assumptions of American culture) to the peace and compassion of mindfulness practice. Thomas beautifully models Zen teachings in his daily life, and by doing so he enlightens and liberates us all."-Charles Johnson, winner of the National Book Award forMiddle Passage"Claude Anshin Thomas has been an inspiration to me. Our world urgently needs to listen to him tell of his life in war and then in peace."-Maxine Hong Kingston, author ofThe Woman Warrior"Thomas's journey from the killing fields of Vietnam to the path of peace and pilgrimage testifies to his-and our-powerful urge to awaken. At the same time, this is not a pretty story. Anshin Thomas has lived in hell, knows its smell and taste, and continues to confront it every day of his life. Yet he remains undeterred in his work to make peace in himself and the world at large."-Bernie Glassman, author ofInstructions to the CookandBearing Witness

Buddhism in a Nutshell
The author, a Vietnam combat veteran, acknowledges the Buddhist insight that violence is rooted in suffering. He describes how he uses this insight in his life to respond to and comfort himself and others, including others some would view as the enemy. For example, he describes the post-World War II hanging of the Auschwitz camp commandant as equally as unacceptable as the commandant's treatment of the camp's Jews. "Claude Anshin," as he calls himself, has walked thousands of miles on several continents in the cause of nonviolence since his ordination as a mendicant Zen monk. I took away from this book the insight that no one individual's or society's suffering is any more or less important than any other indiviudual's or society's. This has helped me deal with my own PTSD from this ... The author, a Vietnam combat veteran, acknowledges the Buddhist insight that violence is rooted in suffering.

I took away from this book the insight that no one individual's or society's suffering is any more or less important than any other indiviudual's or society's. This has helped me deal with my own PTSD from this author's war and to respond compassionately to a family that won't include me, even 40 years later, because of my (noncombatant) experience in that war. I read the book several years ago and wasn't ready to acknowledge the truth of the author's work. I'm glad I gave it another reading.

NOT FOR EVERYONE! A MUST READ FOR MOST!
The opening chapters somewhat explain the tribulations of a military draftee in the 1960's era. It tells of a new soldier's degradation, and rebuilding, into a fighting machine. Personally I had a few similar experiences, making the memories (again) all too real. The many parts, with all his combat missions seemed overwhelming. I wasn't in his shoes, nor did I follow him. We all have our crosses to bear. I was handed this book by my psychiatrist to read as a thought for therapy. I have also read some Choprah. Although this isn't on a Choprah level, it is an approach to relieve the troubled mind myself, and others, have from our trauma in service to our Country. This is a short story of a man making the best of his situation through meditation. I sometimes do the same, but there is ...

This is a short story of a man making the best of his situation through meditation. I sometimes do the same, but there is never a cure. The cessation of the problem is a relief. This is a must read for those that walk our path.
