Finding Our True Home presents a new definitive translation of the Amitabha Sutra along with Thich Nhat Hanh's first commentary on one of the most practiced forms of Buddhism in the world, the Pure Land school.

Introduced in the Buddha's own lifetime, Pure Land practice puts us in touch with the beauty in our own world and brings us the security, solidity, and freedom we need in order to truly enjoy it. Realizing that Buddha is within us, we see that the Pure Land (paradise) is here and now, rather than in the future. Finding Our True Home will open a new Dharma door to many students of meditation.
