As an obscure Buddhist monk in 1967, working to relieve the suffering caused by the Vietnam War, Thich Nhat Hanh was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr. Today, Thich Nhat Hanh is widely known and admired for his many books, as well as his special way of teaching the dharma (essential Buddhist truths) to Western students. The Present Moment is a rare opportunity to learn ancient Buddhist practices directly from this living master of the tradition. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh shares a treasury of detailed meditations to help listeners walk, breathe, communicate--even cope with traffic--more deeply and consciously. One of our most popular audio programs ever, The Present Moment is a classic retreat that shares Buddhism’s core practices for touching “the energy of mindfulness” we carry within and opening to the joy that is always waiting to enter our lives.
