The genius of Thich Nhat Hanh is his ability to create a range of mindfulness practices that allow an individual’s healing and transformation to occur within the context of their everyday life. These practices are succinctly outlined and explained in a new book by Thay entitled simply, Happiness: Essential Mindfulness Practices. There are practices to do upon awakening, eating breakfast, talking on the telephone or communicating with others (including children). Practices that deal with the body, community relationships and self-healing are all covered within this wonderful compendium of nearly fifty practice opportunities that Thay offers us.
With this book as the primary text/manual for the Intensive, participants will develop direct experience and competency to be able to live a mindful, harmonious and happy life whatever the external circumstance. Every week of the Intensive will bring a different focus for practice, as we joyfully use these accessible tools to create the foundation for our personal and interpersonal awakening.
Persons newer to these practices from the Plum Village tradition will benefit from this opportunity to incorporate these life-changing practices into their lives. Persons already somewhat familiar with this tradition will benefit from this opportunity to deepen their practice from increased familiarity. As these practices can be readily transmitted to non-practitioners, we all have the opportunity to develop greater skill in learning how to benefit others. Thay’s book is a wonderful medicine bag that contains many types of medicines to heal myriad kinds of sufferings and ill-being.
As the number of participants in this Intensive is limited, please complete the process by July 30.
