Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life
In the rush of modern life, we tend to lose touch with the peace that is available in each moment. World-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, 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.Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace Is Every Step contains commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories from Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the reader already is—in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking a part—and shows how deep meditative presence is available now. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing, which can bring immediate joy and peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to be aware of relationships with others and of the world around us, its beauty and also its pollution and injustices. the deceptively simple practices of Peace Is Every Step encourage the reader to work for peace in the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the "mindless" into the mindFUL.

I can't tell if he sounds "pop" because pop-buddism followed him or if he is advocating "buddism lite." He ideas are certainly beautiful and his personal history is amazing (though a few less references by his followers to his nomination for a nobel peace prize would be welcome). My problem comes from the fact that I'm not sure I could be around him or those who follow him for long without going batshit crazy. Maybe i am not that peaceful[image error]Thich Nhat Hanh is a man who has lived his principles. Exiled from his native Vietnam for his active engagement in the peace movement as a Buddhist monk, he has lived in exile in France for years. He has an extraordinary bibliography of spiritual writing, from slim books to guide meditation to a length biography of the Buddha. I am not certain he would thank me for providing that short biography. I think he would have preferred for me to start with a focus on the breath, on a gentle

A book that I think would make a difference in our modern day civilization if only more people would read it. It is a book of reminders, but not just any reminders, fundamental and essential reminders. We are reminded to breathe deeply and learn to be at peace and experience joy with the present moment. We are reminded of how many of our lives are overflowing with blessings that could easily make us weep in appreciation and gratefulness. We have food, we still have some Nature around us (we
This is the second Thich Nhat Hanh book I read in a a month, and I have to say I like his writing. This book is a bit simpler than the one I read last. It doesnt cover as much ground, but what it does cover, it does so beautifully.He talks about his view of life, activism, and Buddhism without being overly preachy. And he also talks about his life, and he has lead an interesting one. Because of his work during the Vietnam war he cant go back to his native country. It seems that because he and
I am not much of one for mindfulness and meditation. But this audible book contains some beautiful language and suggestions about how to live life. It is something to be aware of your breathing in and breathing out. It is something to be aware that everything is part of everything else. The book is not complicated and the chapters are short but the thinking is deep. There is a challenge here about some different ways to view the world and your role in it.
