DESCRIPTION:
RLDP said A good, basic study in mindfulness. No tricks, no gimmicks, just basic mindfulness that you can carry with you wherever you go, because of the focus on mindful breathing. I quite liked the rhythm of the book - the repetition in the writing made the reading feel like a meditative experience. The main part of the book was a helpful exploration of what mindful awareness is in everyday life. The mindfulness exercises provided more specific applications. The final section of Buddhist Sutras was beyond my current understanding, but I will re-read them as part of future meditations. I plan to keep this book on my phone's kindle app so I can remind myself to practice basic breathin. Arlene S. said very informative and inspiring. As a relative beginner in meditative practice, and the teachings of Buddhism, I found this first book I've read by Thich Nhat Hanh, to be very useful. I learned a lot and will read more books by him. There were a number of insights I gained which I am trying to put into practice. To give just one example, viewing the time you have to devote to family, not as time you are giving up, but as your own time, which leads you to have unlimiteted time for yourself.. yoga mom said Zen Master. I love, love, love this book. I took my "Zen Master" according to yoga mom. I love, love, love this book. I took my 200 hour teacher training for yoga and this book was on the list of books I had to read. There were 9 other books to read but this book won over my heart. If you want to be mindful in your everyday life and want to find meaning to what life is really all about this book will open your mind and open your heart. I don't think any other book has changed me the way this book changed me. I have changed how I live my life and how I choose to think about my world and the reality that I live in.. 00 hour teacher training for yoga and this book was on the list of books I had to read.
