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. As a Buddhist monk in 1966, working to relieve the suffering caused by the Vietnam Way, Thich Nhat Hanh was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr. Today this Zen master and bestselling author is admired for his special way of teaching the dharma (essential Buddhist truths) to students of all faiths, while addressing the unique challenges of our day. The seeds of internal and external peace are already inside you., Thich Nhat Hanh teaches. You need only learn to contact and nurture them. This is the path to transcending fear and anger; this is the path to a more peaceful world. Through easy-to-follow exercises, you will earn a treasury of meditation to help you walk, breathe, communicate- even cope with traffic- more deeply and consciously.

Here is your invitation to experience these key practices for living joyfully, with respected master of this 2,000-year-old wisdom tradition, in The Present Moment.

GREAT LISTEN

Calming

Very good book , this is my first of Thich's books , Was concerned of the language barrier but I had no problems understanding, so off to purchase another of Thich's books. Thank you.
Oh! forgot to mention the audio is a little echoe but fully understandable I think the talk is in a hall or similar but it's still worth rating of 4 out of 5 imho.

Speaker

Speaker is Thich Nhat Hanh. Recording was made during a retreat. I recommend this book.

Balm to the ears and the soul

I could listen to Thich Nhat Hanh for ever. He has the most mellifluous and gentle voice and he is so thoughtful in his delivery.

This audiobook is a good introduction to mindfulness meditation and buddhism.

Very inspiring

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the inspiring teaching and practical guidance for mindful living and being
