There is a simple elegance to the spiritual teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh that shines through every one of his books. He gracefully conveys the beauty of essential Buddhist teachings. He is a master of the art of mindful living and staying in the present moment. His practice of engaged Buddhism has led to the transformation of many people’s consciousness, and his writings on dealing with anger and violence are very concrete, recommending specific practices to undertake in our families and communities. Another of his core teachings — being peace in this conflicted world — has led many to new respect for their enemies and a firmer resolve to bring about reconciliation in our tattered world.
In Peace of Mind, Thich Nhat Hanh brings together body and mind and four qualities (peace, clarity, compassion, and courage) which can give us meaning in our own lives and animate us to serve others. In this paperback, the author shares many healing and helpful spiritual practices including:
• Deep Relaxation
• The Sixteen Exercises of Mindful Breathing
• Body Scan
• Taking Refuge
• Belly Breathing
• Touching the Earth
• Walking Meditation
