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.
This is sort of a how to manual for life from a great teacher. I recommend it highly for teens and pre-teens.
Great Book and Author

I purchased this book for my children to keep in their growing library. This is one of those books I treasure! The secrets of lasting happiness are contained within this author's readings. Having a discussion of the various sections of this book is very important to understanding how it could be applied. I also purchased, A Pebble for Your Pocket also by Thich Nhat Nanh. The simple things in life have so much to offer if we only take the time to enjoy them. You can grow together with your children rather than apart. This author's work must never be lost, I urge you to get a copy.
