Written by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, who was nominated by Martin Luther King, Jr. for the 1967 Nobel Peace Prize, this audio offers a guide to becoming more aware of ourselves in an increasingly stressful environment.
The Eastern emphasis on maintaining self-awareness has become more and more appealing as an antidote to the ravages of our stressful world, and Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh's manual on mediation is the ideal introduction and life-long guidebook to exploring our inner selves. His spiritual teachings use familiar objects and situations- such as washing the dishes, answering the phone and drinking tea - to give us a practical framework on which to build and maintain a more healthful, relaxed, and harmonious outlook.
Tape one explores Thich Nhat Hanh's philosophy of mindfulness. Tape two consists of his mediations, which will help the listener to practice concentration and relaxation.
Thich Nhat Hanh, poet, Zen master, and chairman of the Vietnamese Buddhist Peace Delegation during the Vietnam War, was nominated by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., for the Nobel Peace Prize. The author of A Guide to Walking Mediation and Being Peace, among other books, Thich Nhat Hanh now lives in exile in France.
The audiobook is read by Peter Thomas, who is a distinguished and versatile narrator.
