Hạnh Nhat Libri

Dialogo tra Cristianesimo e Buddismo

Ascolto profondo è sapersi fermare e sapersi far pervadere dall'oggetto del nostro ascolto diventando uno con esso, che sia al nostro interno o al nostro esterno. Per ascoltare in modo nuovo, insegna Thich Nhat Hanh, è necessario rimuovere le percezioni erronee che si hanno su se stessi e sugli altri: in questo modo si trasforma anche il modo di parlare, e la parola diventa strumento di felicità anziché portatrice di sofferenza. All'ascolto profondo ci si avvicina tramite la condivisione, una delle pratiche cui Thich Nhat Hanh dà maggiore spazio come strumento di pace. In questo libro sono stati raccolti i discorsi che più si soffermano sull'argomento.

Common sense suggests that to lose weight, we need to eat less and exercise more, yet many struggle to maintain their weight-loss efforts. Despite the billions spent on fad diets, feelings of shame and guilt often prevail. We find ourselves trapped in a cycle of worrying about our food choices and exercise routines, unable to move past our mistakes. This fixation on the past prevents us from living in the present, where real change is possible. Renowned Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and Harvard nutritionist Dr. Lilian Cheung offer a solution to break this cycle. They provide practical tools such as personalized goal setting, a comprehensive nutrition guide, and a mindful living plan to help us understand the roots of our habits. Savor teaches us to embrace mindfulness in our eating, exercise, and daily life, making awareness a fundamental aspect of our existence. By focusing on the present moment and understanding our motivations, we can shift our behaviors and let go of negative feelings. This approach not only aids in achieving a healthy weight and overall well-being but also reveals the richness of life available to us in every moment.

For Buddhists seeking perfection, the Sanskrit word "nirvana" is held as the unreachable goal. But in this definitive, direct translation of the Chinese Dharmapada by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, nirvana is not what you think it is. "Nirvana is our daily business," Thich Nhat Hanh says. Based on talks given in his home monastery of Plum Village in France at the peak of his long teaching career, The Nirvana Chapter conveys Thich Nhat Hanh's insights on the 36 verses on nirvana in the Chinese Dharmapada. Described there as "the absence of notions that cause suffering," we discover that nirvana can be experienced at any time. Previously unavailable in English, these teachings on the experiential path which can help us touch nirvana are an "instant classic" for Buddhists and meditation practitioners. With his fluency in Classical Chinese and his knowledge of Sanskrit and Pali, Thich Nhat Hanh is the perfect guide to lead the way to a new understanding of nirvana for an international audience. Through his commentary, ranging freely in his vast knowledge of Vietnamese Buddhist history, we gain a master practitioner's view of a tradition of Zen Buddhism that has been, until now, inaccessible to Western students. We also gain insights into the elusive "space outside of space" of nirvana's ultimate dimension.
