Be Like A Tree: Zen Talks by Thich Phuoc Tinh

By Karen Hilsberg

Book Overview

For the first time, the dharma talks of Zen Master Th ch Phước Tịnh are available in English. These teachings are direct and poetic. They speak to the everyday dilemmas of being human in the 21st century. The Venerable (as he is known to his students) offers the fundamental tools to apply mindfulness to our everyday lives as we parent our children, grow older, honor our ancestors, express gratitude, and communicate with our loved ones. He offers instructions on how to meditate and how to cultivate the most precious gifts that life has to offer: non-fear, recognizing our thoughts and feelings, creating space in our lives, loving and being loved, cultivating our spirituality, and tasting the enjoyment of our own lives. We can accomplish all of this through the diligent practice of mindfulness, and the Venerable tells us exactly how to do it in these delightful and practical talks.
