One of a trio of books that beloved Zen master and author Thich Nhat Hanh recommends keeping by our bedside for regular reflection and inspiration
This fresh new edition of Thich Nhat Hanh's accessible translation and commentary on the Sutra on Knowing the Better Way To Live Alone brings to life the earliest teaching of the Buddha on living fully in the present moment. "To live alone" doesn’t mean to isolate oneself from society. It means to live in mindfulness: to let go of the past and the future, and to look deeply and discover the true nature of all that is taking place in the present moment. To fully realize this is to meet our appointment with life and to experience the peace, joy, and happiness this realization brings. A wonderful addition to the library of anyone interested in Buddhism and what the Buddha taught at the most practical level.
"Our appointment with life is in the present moment. The place of our appointment is right here, in this very place." Thich Nhat Hanh in Our Appointment with Life
Other books in the trio are Breathe, You Are Alive! and Transformation and Healing
