Book Reviews of Mindful Living: A Collection of Teachings on Love, Mindfulness, and Meditation
Book Review: A Great Experience in Beginning Buddhist Thought
Summary: 5 Stars
I've recently began exploring Buddhism, and I stumbled upon the large body of work of Thich Nhat Hanh. I decided that it would be a good idea to get one of the audio CDs of his work, so that I could have something to listen to while I practiced meditation.
What I found was an experience that further cemented my interest in Buddhism. Thich Nhat Hanh's lessons on this CD begin with the essentials of Buddhist practice (breathing in meditation) to ruminations on the seeds of suffering, the experiences of life and death in the human body, and the interconnectedness of all things.
All in all, it's not a bad overview to various aspects and ideas expounded by Buddhist teachers, and Thich Nhat Hanh's voice is smooth, melodic, and compassionate. It's easy to understand why he has become such a prolific teacher, when his ideas come naturally despite English being his second language.
The CD can drag in parts (especially towards the end of Disc 1), but all in all it's charming, insightful, at times funny and at times moving, and I couldn't recommend it higher. I've listened to it dozens of times, and I'll listen dozens more. If you are interested in listening to a teacher of Buddhism yourself, and are perhaps unable to find one in your area (like me) this is a great, affordable opportunity.
Summary of Mindful Living: A Collection of Teachings on Love, Mindfulness, and Meditation
Mindfulness, teaches Thich Nhat Hanh, is like the power of the sun: it illuminates the parts of your life that are in darkness. Instead of suppressing anger, fear, and guilt, mindfulness welcomes all experience. Mindful Living is a special gift-boxed collection of this beloved Zen master's most popular audio sessions for coming fully alive to yourself and the world. Mindful Living includes: The Art of Mindful Living - Thich Nhat Hanh shows you how to use mindfulness to welcome all aspects of experience - even the most challenging parts. Teachings on Love - In the Buddhist tradition, genuine love comprises four qualities: lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and freedom. Here, you will learn how to enrich relationships of every kind with these transcendent qualities. Touching the Earth - Thich Nhat Hanh and Sister Chan Khong teach an ancient Buddhist practice to unify body and mind in an exquisite gesture of spiritual surrender.General Books
