These texts provide an important insight into the heart of practice taught by the Buddha, and are useful and relevant for us all. Such basic teachings as mindfulness in each moment, conscious breathing, sitting and walking meditation, and using gathas (meditation poems) are included, to help us reduce stress and lead a wholesome and happy life, whether in a society of monks and nuns or in the larger society of the world.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1888375027\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1888375027.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nhat Hanh, Thich\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
