Audiobook

This moment is the gateway to enlightenment. It is the only moment we have to be joyful, mindful, and awake. The key is to be there for yourself—to learn to be fully present in your life. This, Thich Nhat Hanh explains, is the heart of Buddhist practice.
In this introduction to the practice of presence, the beloved Buddhist teacher 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.

      Lloyd James calmly and steadily presents the concepts of mindfulness, peace, and other basic precepts of Buddhism. Based on a retreat for Westerners, this book is an excellent introduction to the teachings of Buddhism and meditation, and their practical application to everyday life. Through simple illustrations, Hahn presents his message in easy-to-understand terms. Lloyd James's narration exemplifies a centered focus on the core meanings of the teachings and the objective of becoming one with the moment. His engagement with the topics is uniform; his presentation is intimate, quiet. Each chapter is self-contained and could be used as the basis for meditation or study. J.E.M.
