You Are Here by Thich Nhat Hanh

In this introduction to the practice of presence, the beloved Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh 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.
