Product Description

Product Description
In the rush of modern life, we tend to lose touch with the peace that is available in each moment. Zen master, peace activist and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the very situations that usually pressure and antagonize us. For him, a ringing telephone can be a signal to call us back to our true selves. Dirty dishes, red lights and traffic jams are spiritual friends on the path to "mindfulness" - the process of keeping our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. The most profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form right now. Thich Naht Hahn offers commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories to show how deep meditative presence is available. He provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing - and he also shows us how to be aware of our relationships with others and of the world around us, its beauty as well as its pollution and injustices.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my life, 31 Mar 2001
By B. C. Meijer (Groningen, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A little over three years ago I received this book as a birthday present (in the wonderful Dutch translation by Anna Bol and Eveline Beumkes). After quickly reading it, I put it away: 'surely, a lot of peace for such a small book'. It was only six months later, when I started reading the short, meditative pieces one a day, that some of the messages began to take hold. The simplicity is both real and deceptive at the same time: even after three years, new meanings suddenly appear -- "ah, that's what he means!" A rich and inspiring book. And the English version is as beautiful as the Dutch.

5.0 out of 5 stars If peace is what you want this points that way., 21 April 1999
By A Customer
This book is excellent. It's written in small pieces so can be read easily. The lessons in it are life changing. It's simply one of the best and useful books I've read so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, inspiring, tranformational, 10 April 2002
By Self-help junkie (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
An excellent book written by a Buddhist monk about different ways to live 'mindfully' - which seems to mean living so that I do not lose touch with what is of ultimate significance in the daily round of passing tasks/events. The style is simple, but the message inspiring, and ultimately life-transforming if absorbed and lived.
