The Miracle of Mindfulness - Thich Nhat Hanh

"Thich Nhat Hanh writes with the voice of the Buddha." -Sogyal Rinpoche

The Miracle of Mindfulness is special because its clear and simple emphasis on pasic practice enables any reader to begin a practice of his or own immediatily......Mobe Ho

Awareness is mindfulness, mindfulness is being, being is consciousness. Let us not dwell on semantics; for the western mind this is a "how to live" guide based on awareness of God (albeit Buddhists use different terminology). Thich Nhat Hanh's instructions are pertinent to all who are on the spiritual path and he speaks the universal language of all seekers. He tells us to use the breath and be mindful even in the smallest of things in life, very much along the lines of the 17th century Christian mystic, Nicholas Herman of Lorraine, "Brother Lawrence", who said that he was with God equally with his pots and pans in the kitchen as in the chapel on his knees. That is bhakti yoga, that is mindfulness, and that is also practicing the presence of God. "The Miracle of Mindfulness" is an excellent contemporary approach on the subject that would have met the approval of Brother lawrence, Yogananda, Ramakrishna and Pope John Paul II. Read this book, study it, absorb it, live it. - Spiritual Classics Book Review
