Peaceful Teacher
Wonderful. I've been listening to Thich Nhat Hanh most nights before sleep for about 2 weeks now. I can say that I have been so relaxed and have had no trouble remembering my dreams... this tells me that my mind is becoming more free and clear. I would recommend this "retreat at home" to anyone, even those not interested in Buddhism will reap benefits.

good to hear Thay's gentle voice as well
This is a very good alternative to reading Thich Nhat Hanh's books.(we student of his call him Thay, pronounced like "tie," which mean teacher in Vietnamese) The best way to learn from Thay is to be in his prsense, which I have had the pleasure to do once this past summer. Just being in his presence and the presence of the monastics exudes peace. The next best thing is to listen to a retreat like this one on CD or even watch a DVD of his. Because his voice and smile helps relay this peace so well. I highly recommned this series.

A compassionate, profound audiobook
Written by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, nominated for the 1967 Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr., The Ultimate Dimension is an audio book on CD that examines two classical Buddhist texts, the Avatamsaka Sutra and the Lotus Sutra. From essential Buddhist principles to wondrous interconnection of all that exists, to the "ultimate dimension" that is the infinite realm beyond birth and death, The Ultimate Dimension reminds listeners of the Lotus Sutra's promise - that regardless of one's traditions or background, all beings share the potential to become enlightened. A compassionate, profound audiobook with a quintessential Buddhist message of wisdom, understanding, and learning to open oneself to a higher way.
