Book Reviews of The Miracle of Mindfulness

Book Review: Miracles!
Summary: 5 Stars

Thich Nhat Hanh wrote "The Miracle of Mindfulness" in 1974 to help the politically-neutral aid workers in Vietnam deal with the trauma of war and the challenges of their work. The book is a remarkable reminder of the power we have to be effective, and that power is rooted in our willingness to bring attention to exactly where we are.

What I really appreciate about this book is that it is about "Engaged Buddhism." In this school, awareness is not just something you gain sitting still in meditation. Rather Hahn emphasizes that awareness can also be gleaned and expressed when you get to work in your life!

If what you seek is practical enlightenment, I suggest you read any of Ariel and Shya Kanes' books: Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: A Book About Instantaneous Transformation,How To Create a Magical Relationship,Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. Like Hahn, the Kanes support their readers in gaining and utilizing awareness in a way that is clearly effective, both personally and globally!

Summary of The Miracle of Mindfulness

Miracle of Mindfulness is a sly commentary on the Anapanasati Sutra, the Sutra on Breath to Maintain Mindfulness. "Sly" because it doesn't read like a dry commentary at all. One of Thich Nhat Hanh's most popular books, Miracle of Mindfulness is about how to take hold of your consciousness and keep it alive to the present reality, whether eating a tangerine, playing with your children, or washing the dishes. A world-renowned Zen master, Nhat Hanh weaves practical instruction with anecdotes and other stories to show how the meditative mind can be achieved at all times and how it can help us all "reveal and heal." Nhat Hanh is a master at helping us find a calm refuge within ourselves and teaching us how to reach out from there to the rest of the world. --Brian Bruya

"One of the best available introductions to the wisdom and beauty of meditational practice." -Time

Written by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, who was nominated by Martin Luther King, Jr. for the 1967 Nobel Peace Prize, this audio offers a guide to becoming more aware of ourselves in an increasingly stressful environment.

The Eastern emphasis on maintaining self-awareness has become more and more appealing as an antidote to the ravages of our stressful world, and Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh's manual on mediation is the ideal introduction and life-long guidebook to exploring our inner selves.? His spiritual teachings use familiar objects and situations- such as washing the dishes, answering the phone and drinking tea - to give us a practical framework on which to build and maintain a more healthful, relaxed, and harmonious outlook.

Tape one explores Thich Nhat Hanh's philosophy of mindfulness.? Tape two consists of his mediations, which will help the listener to practice concentration and relaxation.

Thich Nhat Hanh, poet, Zen master, and chairman of the Vietnamese Buddhist Peace Delegation during the Vietnam War, was nominated by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., for the Nobel Peace Prize.? The author of A Guide to Walking Mediation and Being Peace, among other books, Thich Nhat Hanh now lives in exile in France.

The audiobook is read by Peter Thomas, who is a distinguished and versatile narrator.
