You are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment
By: Thich Nhat Hanh Shambala Publications, Inc.
In this book Thich Nhat Hanh, the renowned Zen monk, author, and meditation master, distill the essence of Buddhist thought and practice, emphasizing the power of mindfulness to transform lives. “Mindfulness is not an evasion or an escape,’ he explains. ‘It means being here, present, and totally alive. It is true freedom—and without freedom, there is no happiness.”
Based on a retreat that Thich Nhat Hanh led for Westerners, this book offers a range of simple, effective practices for cultivating mindfulness, including awareness of breathing, walking, deep listening, and skillful speech. You are Here also offers guidance on healing emotional pain and manifesting real love and compassion in our relationships with others.
Simple, warm, direct, and startlingly potent, this book reveals the heart of the Buddhist path and helps us to reconnect with the joy and wonder of being alive, regardless of life’s changing circumstances.
