Meditation & Mindfulness | |
Present Moment: Retreat on the Practice of Mindfulness(Audio Collection) As a humble Buddhist monk in 1966, Thich Nhat Hanh was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King. Since that time he has developed a special way of teaching the dharma (essential Buddhist truths) in the West; a way that addresses the spiritual challenges unique to our day, while honoring all faiths. The seeds of internal and external peace are already inside you, he 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. You will learn a treasury of detailed meditations to help walk, breathe, communicate - even cope with traffic - more deeply and consciously - practices designed to "touch the energy of mindfulness". | |
