Buddhism teaches that the present moment contains the seeds of all possiblities for our lives: freedom from suffering; true compassion for others; and a calm, spacious mind that welcomes change.
Originally recorded at a week-long retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh, The Present Moment shares the essential Buddhist practices designed to "touch the energy of mindfulness" that we carry within us. It is through these time-honored teachings that anyone can open the seeds of joy that are always present and waiting to change our lives.
Through easy-to-follow exercises, you will learn a treasury of meditations to help you walk, breathe, communicate — even cope with traffic — more deeply and consciously.
