Our Appointment with Life

Sutra on Knowing the Better Way to Live Alone (Revised Edition) Thich Nhat Hanh
The Sutra on Knowing the Better Way to Live Alone is the earliest teaching of the Buddha on living fully in the present moment. In his modern commentary on this ancient teaching, Thich Nhat Hanh explains that living alone does not mean isolating ourselves from society. Living alone means to live in mindfulness, free of the worries about the past and the future that can crowd out our experience of life right now. If we know how to live alone, we can live with others and create harmonious communities. This revised edition features an all-new introduction by the author. Highly recommended. Offers insight on how to be fully alive in the present moment.

A Moment for the Mind

Poonam Srivastava
These poems focus on the transformative power of the present moment, the moment when things we consider ordinary or mundane reveal themselves as opportunities for introspection. POONAM SRIVASTAVA lives in Delhi, India and writes about personal and community wellness. These poems of mindfulness are clear as crystals. They show us what is happening right now. THICH NHAT HANH A Moment for the Mind is about how lifecentered present moment awareness brings us close to the sacred mystery of our existence. DEEPAK CHOPRA
