Inspiring manual for applying Buddhist meditation techniques to everyday life
Rating  (5)

I found this book most inspiring. Have to keep reminding myself to breathe, to live in the present, to enjoy life, and to realize that life doesn't begin when I finish this or that - I am living right now. This book got me deeply interested in Buddhist meditation.

expresses the real simplicity of life and how complexity only distracts us from the true treasures of life. at first i was a bit dissapointed as i wanted something to shout at me, jump off the page, but thich offers only truth and simplicity, essentially what we really need. his heart speaks through his words. it's a tiny book, so i spent much time with each page, contemplating, practicing, etc. i use his teachings each day.
very grateful, highly recommended. : )

Thich Nhat Hahn's writing style is inherently calming to me. Just reading his simple clear language I find my mind clearing of some of the usual noise. His message is meant to inspire and provide each of us with tools to develop the kind of inner peace that both reduces our own suffering- and thereby necessarily reduces the suffering of others. I highly recommend this book.
