Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment

De: Sherab Chödzin Kohn - translator, Thích Nhất Hạnh

Narrado por: Lloyd James

This moment is the gateway to enlightenment. It is the only moment we have to be joyful, mindful, and awake. The key is to be there for yourself - to learn to be fully present in your life. This, Thich Nhat Hanh explains, is the heart of Buddhist practice.

In this introduction to the practice of presence, the beloved Buddhist teacher provides indispensable insight on the essentials of Buddhist thought and offers a range of simple, everyday practices for cultivating mindfulness. These teachings empower us to witness the wonder of life and transform our suffering, both within us and around us, into compassion, tenderness, and peace - not in some long and hard struggle, but in this very moment. As Thich Nhat Hanh declares, "the energy of mindfulness is the energy of the Buddha, and it can be produced by anybody." It's as simple as breathing in and breathing out.

Excellent

Easy to listen to. The reader has a pleasant voice. I recommend this to everyone

Terrible recording

I love Thich - but I could not get past the poor recording quality. The first word in a sentence keeps getting cut off, and it is so distracting that it makes it impossible to listen to it (I quit listening after 5 minutes). I will have to buy the book.

I listen to this over and over again

This is one of those books I keep coming back to! The beautiful simple writings of our dear Thay are such a balm. I find myself calmer, more settled, breathing more deeply, more present just listening to these teachings.

I also love this narrator. Gentle eloquent voice.

Much gratitude 🙏🏽

Most wonderful book I have read in years!

This book was full of such posititive and unusual content, based on the teachings of Buddhism for all of time , full of healing and love and love that I had never heard before.

Here smiling

I loved everything about this book. It is exactly what I needed to here. If you a feel there is more than what you see read this book. You are here so enjoy what time you have.

Another great spiritual book!

I have been reading so many spiritual books and always happy that it was worth the reading. This for sure was worth reading. Thank you Thich Nhat Hanh.

Interesting

Read once, wait a month. Read again, wait three months and read again in six months.

Such great wisdom

I will listen to this book again and again! I will take notes and practice practice practice!
