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

understanding; understanding brings compassion; and deep listening

meditation." No. Walking from one building to another, walking from
the parking lot to your office, you can always enjoy walking

mindfulness can help you release the tension in your body, release
the tension in your feelings, and bring about healing, joy, and
transformation.

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
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 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 this little treasure, Thich Nhat Hanh offers us a Buddhist view
of love along with techniques for manifesting it in our daily
lives. In his characteristically direct, simple, and sweet style,
he explores the four key aspects of love as described in the
Buddhist tradition: lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and freedom.
In "True Love", Thich Nhat Hanh explains that in order to love in a
real way, we need to learn how to be fully present in our lives.
Toward that end, he offers the technique of conscious breathing as
a way of synchronizing the mind and the body and establishing the
conditions for love. He goes on to offer a mantra practice for
cultivating real love that consists of expressing four key
statements or intentions in our relationships. In the concluding
section of the book, Thich Nhat Hanh explains how we can bring love
to bear on our own pain, fear, and negativity. He explains that we
must not regard these things as bad and repress them. We must
recognize them as part of us and allow them into our consciousness,
where they can be cared for by the loving mother of mindfulness.
