The Path of Emancipation
by Thich Nhat Hanh (9781888375152)

In T"he Path of Emancipation, " Thich Nhat Hanh translates Buddhist tradition into everyday life and makes it relevant and transformative for us all. Studying in-depth the "Discourse on the Full Awareness of Breathing, " he teaches how mindfulness can help us reduce stress and live simply, confidently, and happily while dwelling in the present moment.

One of the best known and most respected Zen masters in the world today, poet, and peace and human rights activist, Thich Nhat Hanh has led an extraordinary life. Born in central Vietnam in 1926 he joined the monkshood at the age of sixteen. The Vietnam War confronted the monasteries with the question of whether to adhere to the contemplative life and remain meditating in the monasteries, or to help the villagers suffering under bombings and other devastation of the war. Nhat Hanh was one of those who chose to do both, helping to found the "engaged Buddhism" movement. His life has since been dedicated to the work of inner transformation for the benefit of individuals and society.

Thich Nhat Hanh continues to live in Plum Village in the meditation community he founded, where he teaches, writes, and gardens; and he leads retreats worldwide on "the art of mindful living."
