'The monk who taught the world mindfulness' Time In this masterful
work, one of the most revered spiritual leaders in the world today
shares his wisdom on how to be the change we want to see in the
world. In these troubling times we all yearn for a better world.
But many of us feel powerless and uncertain what we can do. Thich
Nhat Hanh (Thay) is blazingly clear: there's one thing that we have
the power to change-and which can make all the difference: our
mind. How we see and think about things determines all the choices
we make, the everyday actions we take (or avoid), how we relate to
those we love (or oppose), and how we react in a crisis or when
things don't go our way. Filled with powerful examples of engaged
action he himself has undertaken, inspiring Buddhist parables, and
accessible daily meditations, this powerful spiritual guide offers
us a path forward, opening us to the possibilities of change and
how we can contribute to the collective awakening and environmental
revolution our fractured world so desperately needs.

How to Love is part of a charming series of books from Zen Master,
Thich Nhat Hanh, exploring the essential foundations of mindful
meditation and practise. How to Love shows that when we feel closer
to our loved ones, we are also more connected to the world as a
whole. Nhat Hanh brings his signature clarity, compassion and
humour to the thorny question of how to love and distils one of our
strongest emotions down to four essentials: you can only love
another when you feel true love for yourself; love is
understanding; understanding brings compassion; and deep listening
and loving speech are key ways of showing our love.
In The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching, Thich Nhat Hanh introduces us to the core teachings of Buddhism and shows us that the Buddha's teachings are accessible and applicable to our daily lives. With poetry and clarity, Nhat Hanh imparts comforting wisdom about the nature of suffering and its role in creating compassion, love, and joy--all qualities of enlightenment. Covering such significant teachings as the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Three Doors of Liberation, the Three Dharma Seals, and the Seven Factors of Awakening, The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching is a radiant beacon on Buddhist thought for the initiated and uninitiated alike.
Spiritual practice is possible for all of us.
You cannot say, "I'm just too busy, I have no time for
meditation." No. Walking from one building to another, walking from
the parking lot to your office, you can always enjoy walking
mindfully, and enjoy every one of your steps. Each step you take in
mindfulness can help you release the tension in your body, release
the tension in your feelings, and bring about healing, joy, and
transformation.
--from the IntroductionOffering personal anecdotes, meditations,
and advice for mindfully connecting with our present experience,
Zen master and international bestselling author Thich Nhat Hanh
shows us how we can discover within the here and now our own innate
ability to experience inner peace and happiness. We do not need to
escape reality to harness the joy that is possible with every
breath we take.
Turning our conventional understanding of power on its head,
world-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and national
bestselling author Thich Nhat Hanh reveals how true power comes
from within. What we seek, we already have. Whether we want it or
not, power remains one of the central issues in all of our lives.
Every day, each of us exercises power in many ways, and our every
act subtly affects the world we live in. This struggle for control
and authority permeates every aspect of our private and public
lives, preventing us from attaining true happiness. The me-first
mentality in our culture seeps unnoticed into our decisions and
choices. Our bottom-line approach to getting ahead may be most
visible in the business world, but the stress, fear, and anxiety it
causes are being felt by people in all walks of life. Thich Nhat
Hanh illustrates how the current understanding of power leads us on
a never-ending search for external markers like job title or
salary. "The Art of Power" boldly challenges our assumptions and
teaches each of us how to access the true power that is within our
grasp.
In this beautifully written book, Buddhist monk and Nobel Peace
Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh explains how to acquire the skills of
mindfulness. Once we have these skills, we can slow our lives down
and discover how to live in the moment - even simple acts like
washing the dishes or drinking a cup of tea may be transformed into
acts of meditation. Thich Nhat Hanh's gentle anecdotes and
practical exercises help us to arrive at greater self-understanding
and peacefulness, whether we are beginners or advanced students.
Irrespective of our particular religious beliefs, we can begin to
reap the immense benefits that meditation has been scientifically
proven to offer. We can all learn how to be mindful and experience
the miracle of mindfulness for ourselves.
In Teachings on Love, world-renowned Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh
shows how we can put unconditional love (even for our enemies) into
practice. Hanh is the widest-selling Buddhist author in English
worldwide. "We all need love. Love brings us joy and well-being. It
is as natural as the air." Thich Nhat Hanh Weaving together
traditional anecdotes, personal experiences, and a deep
understanding of the Buddha's way of mindful living, Thich Nhat
Hanh offers step-by-step practices that foster the growth of
understanding and intimacy in any relationship, even with those who
have done us harm. * There are meditations on love, ways to heal
our relationships with our family and our own spiritual traditions,
and methods for resolving conflicts. * Meditations include: Love
meditation Self-love Nourishing happiness True love Deep listening
and loving speech Living mindfully together.
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.
"This book of illuminating reminders bid us to reorient the way we look at the world...toward a humanitarian perspective." --Publisher Weekly
