In the rush of modern life, we tend to lose
touch with the peace that is available in each moment. World-renowned
Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to
make positive use of the very situations that usually pressure and
antagonize us. For him a ringing telephone can be a signal to call us
back to our true selves. Dirty dishes, red lights, and traffic jams are
spiritual friends on the path to "mindfulness"—the process of keeping
our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. The most
profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie
as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form
right now.
Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace Is Every Step contains commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories from Nhat Hanh's experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. It begins where the reader already is—in the kitchen, office, driving a car, walking a part—and shows how deep meditative presence is available now. Nhat Hanh provides exercises to increase our awareness of our own body and mind through conscious breathing, which can bring immediate joy and peace. Nhat Hanh also shows how to be aware of relationships with others and of the world around us, its beauty and also its pollution and injustices. the deceptively simple practices of Peace Is Every Step encourage the reader to work for peace in the world as he or she continues to work on sustaining inner peace by turning the "mindless" into the mindFUL.
