    About this audiobook

    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.

    Thich Nhat Hanh

    Thich Nhat Hanh (pronounced tik-not-hawn) waas a world-renowned writer, scholar, spiritual leader, and Zen Buddhist monk. Since the age of sixteen, he was a Buddhist monk, a peace activist, and a seeker of the way. He survived three wars, persecution, and more than thirty years of exile from his native Vietnam, when he was banned by both the non-Communist and Communist governments for his role in undermining the violence he saw affecting his people. He was the master of one of the most prominent temples in Vietnam, and his lineage is traceable directly to the Buddha himself. A prolific author, Nhat Hanh has written more than one hundred books of philosophy, poetry, and fiction. Nhat Hanh lived in a monastic community in southwestern France that he founded, called Plum Village, recognized as the main inspiration for engaged Buddhism. He died in January 2022 at the age of 95.

      A good book to get hang of Buddhist literature. I will still prefer Eckhart tolle over thichthat nah.
    • 5/5
      The way Thay defined The presence makes a lot sense. I find myself completely peaceful Everytime I do mediation while repeating the mantras as Thay taught in the book. highly recommend this book for anyone who want to meditation, start a journey of mindfulness or simply is looking for a way out of daily stress. :)

      Thank you very much for beautiful talk and encouraging thoughts ❤
    • 4/5
      Beautiful and inspiring with deep insight almost until the end. Toward the end chapters I drop my rating from five to four because it just was not the same.
