En ese largo lapso continu ense ando con ah nco en Europa y los Estados Unidos, convirti ndose en uno de los l deres espirituales m s respetados del mundo. Cuando escrib a este bloc de notas, empero, su celebridad estaba a n por llegar. Fragantes hojas de palmera muestra a un joven vulnerable y asombrosamente l cido, un estudiante y adjunto en las universidades de Princeton y Columbia (entre 1962 y 1963) que a ora su hogar y reflexiona sobre las dificultades que su comunidad tuvo que afrontar en Vietnam. El texto describe su regreso a su tierra natal en 1964, cuando establece el movimiento hoy ya conocido como «budismo comprometido . Representa, por tanto, una valios sima ventana a la vida temprana de un cono espiritual y proporciona un genuino modelo de c mo vivir con consciencia plena en tiempos de cambio y agitaci n. "This collection of my diary is unlikely to make it past censorship... Tomorrow I will leave Vietnam." This is how Thich Nhat Hanh begins his entry on May 11, 1966. He was forced into exile from his country for asking for peace and could not return until 2004. During that time, he continued to teach in Europe and the United States, becoming one of the most respected spiritual leaders in the world. As he wrote this notebook, however, his fame was yet to come. Fragantes hojas de palmerashows a vulnerable and startlingly lucid young man who longs for his home and reflects on the difficulties that his community had to face in Vietnam.

Meditations for profoundly reshaping our focus, mindset, and healing journey--discover the freedom and lightness that comes with leading with gratitude over fear and trauma"The Art of Living offers an exit ramp from the madness of modern-day overdrive, and just might let us grasp the heaven on Earth." --The Chicago TribuneA revered spiritual leader's legacy lives on in this wise and rich spiritual guide that shows us how finding true nirvana--existing deeply and peacefully every day--is more attainable than we ever imagined.Especially in turbulent times, there is an urgency to understand ourselves and our world. In the process, hushing our internal chatter and anxieties can feel nearly impossible. We exist trapped in a cycle of worry and stress--desperately searching for a cure and for an ounce of calm. In The Art of Living, renowned Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh shows us that, often, we are in our own way, and that by changing the way we think and process our emotions and experiences can permanently change the way we find joy and meaning in our lives. Containing the essence of the Buddha's teachings and Nhat Hanh's poignant, timeless, and clarifying prose, The Art of Living provides seven transformative mediations that open new perspectives on our lives, our relationships, and our interconnectedness with the world around us.These transformative meditations concentrate on the concepts of: - Emptiness- Singlessness- Aimlessness- Impermanence- Non-Craving- Letting Go- NirvanaThrough these, Nhat Hanh describes how spirituality is not a religion. It is a path for us to generate happiness, understanding, and love, so we can live deeply in each moment of our life."Happiness is not something that arrives in a package in the mail. Happiness does not fall out of the sky. Happiness is something we generate with mindfulness." --Thich Nhat Hanh

I ”Kärleksbrev till Jorden” visar Thich Nhat Hanh att vår planet inte bara finns under våra fötter, utan att den är allt utanför och inom oss. Jorden är inte bara den omgivning vi lever i, vi är jorden och vi bär henne alltid med oss. När vi väl inser att vi och orden inte är åtskilda utan ett och detsamma förvandlas vår relation till planeten, skriver Thich Nhat Hanh.”Kärleksbrev till Jorden” är just detta – en zenmästares kärleksbrev till vår blå ädelsten i Vintergatan. Det är en hoppfull bok som visar att en ny riktning är möjlig i vårt förhållande till planeten – en riktning förankrad i mindfulness och det sant existentiella som gör att vi kan klara utmaningarna för klimatet, den biologiska mångfalden och andra hot mot vår planet."Kärleksbrev till Jorden" är inte bara en vacker och djup kärleksförklaring till jorden och till oss människor som bebor planeten, utifrån ett buddhistiskt perspektiv. Boken är också handfast genom övningar och meditationer, liksom brev/kontemplationer riktade till Jorden, som alla bär Thich Nhat Hanhs typiska, poetiska prägel.HELHETSBETYG 5 av 5. ”Med jordnära och insiktsfulla texter delar författaren med sig av sin långa livserfarenhet och sitt buddhistiska tankesätt, samt ger praktiska råd och hur vi kan öka vår medvetenhet i vardagen.” Ur recension av ”Kärleksbrev till Jorden” av Helena Sjöblom, BTJ (f.d. Bibliotekstjänst), 2023-01-04 (BTJ-häfte nr 3/23).OM THICH NHAT HANH Thich Nhat Hanh föddes 1926 och blev buddhistmunk i Vietnam vid sexton års ålder, senare fredsaktivist, författare och poet. År 1967 nominerades till Nobels fredspris av Martin Luther King. 1982 grundade han klostret Plum Village i Frankrike och under hela sitt liv var han starkt socialt engagerad. Han har genom sina böcker haft stor betydelse för framväxten av den mindfulnessvåg som svept fram i västvärlden de senaste decennierna. Thich Nhat Hanh avled i januari 2022 i hemlandet Vietnam. Dana Förlag har tidigare gett ut hans bok "Fri från rädsla, fri från sorg".UR BOKENS KAPITEL 2"Om vi inte återupprättar Jordens balans kommer vi att fortsätta orsaka stor förödelse och det blir svårt för livet på Jorden att fortsätta. Vi behöver inse att förutsättningarna som kan bidra till att återupprätta den nödvändiga balansen inte kommer utifrån. De kommer inifrån oss, från vår egen medvetna närvaro, vår egen nivå av medvetenhet. Vårt uppvaknande och vår vakna medvetenhet är det som kan hela Jorden."

"Thich Nhat Hanh's work has proven to be the antidote to our modern pain and sorrows." --Ocean Vuong The definitive poetry collection by the world renowned Zen master, peace activist, and author of The Miracle of Mindfulness Though he is best known for his groundbreaking and accessible works on applying mindfulness to everyday life, Thich Nhat Hanh is also a distinguished poet and Nobel Peace Prize nominee.

Learn about the bodhisattva ideal--the capacity to see the potential for awakening in everyone and aspire to help them along their path--with new commentaries on early Mahayana sutras from Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, the monk Time magazine calls "the father of mindfulness." Based on a three-month retreat given by Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh in the winter of 1991, this book gives an historical account of the emergence of the bodhisattva ideal during the first century CE, together with Thich Nhat Hanh's previously unpublished commentaries on two early Mahayana sutras--the Ugraparipṛccha Sutra (The Questions of the Householder Ugra) and the Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa Sutra (The Instructions of Vimalakīrti). About 150 years after the death of the historical Buddha, Buddhism had begun to develop into many separate schools, in which many monks came to prioritize their own personal liberation in their teaching and practice, while making Buddhism into a series of doctrines that served their own school. They came to live in a way that was cut off from other schools and from laypeople and saw laypeople as there primarily to make offerings and support the monks, not as practitioners who could also benefit fully from the Buddha's teachings. Consequently, around the first century CE, there arose among lay and monastic practitioners the desire to popularize Buddhism and bring it out of the ivory tower and back in touch with life in the world, as it had been in the time of the Buddha. From this movement sprang the Mahayana path, which aimed to provide the deepest wellsprings of Buddhist thought to all people, regardless of their social background. Central to the Mahayana teachings is the idea of bodhicitta (the mind of love), which was personified in the bodhisattva, who sees the potential for enlightenment in everyone and vows to help them on their path to awakening. Soon Mahayana sutras began to appear, encouraging practitioners to develop the qualities of a bodhisattva in themselves. The Ugraparipṛccha Sutra counsels students on the bodhisattva path, giving practical instructions on how to help others suffer less. The Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa Sutra focuses on bringing the deepest teachings of Buddhism to ordinary people, with teachings on the ultimate dimension and Buddhist ethics. With his insightful commentary on these two important sutras, Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh continues the inclusive spirit of the early Mahayana practitioners.
