This moment is a gateway to enlightenment. It is the only moment we have to experience joy, mindfulness, and awareness. The key is learning to be fully present in your life for yourself. According to Thich Nhat Hanh, this is the essence of Buddhist practice. In this introduction to the practice of presence, the beloved Buddhist teacher offers essential insights into Buddhist thought and provides a range of simple, everyday practices for cultivating mindfulness. These teachings empower us to recognize the wonders of life and transform our suffering—both within ourselves and in the world around us—into compassion, tenderness, and peace. This transformation does not require a long and difficult struggle; it can happen in this very moment. As Thich Nhat Hanh states, “The energy of mindfulness is the energy of the Buddha, and it can be produced by anyone.” It’s as simple as breathing in and breathing out. Topics include how to transform your life through mindfulness of breath.
