Item Description

Receive your own set of 2012 titles from Parallax Press, publisher of Thich Nhat Hahn.

For those new to meditation and mindfulness practices, Making Space, contains the most popular and transformative practice of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in a pocket-sized book that can be a help and companion at any time during the day.

Awakening of the Heart is a comprehensive single volume edition of Thich Nhat Hanh's sutra translations and commentaries on key Buddhist sutras.

Path of Compassion is Thich Nhat Hanh's vibrant retelling of the story of Prince Siddartha, who left his family and renounced his privileged life to become the Buddha. These stories reveal that, most of all, the Buddha was a human being, full of questions, able to make mistakes, and like all of us, capable of great compassion and insight. The most important teachings of the Buddha come alive in this compelling and informative introduction to his life.

Good Citizens is Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's bold contribution to the creation of a shared global ethic. Thich Nhat Hanh lays out a vision based on the Four Noble Truths that speak to people of all faiths, cultures, and political beliefs. If we understand them closely, can be a guide to help us think, act, and speak in ways that bring more joy and peace to ourselves and others.

Mindfulness in the Garden: Zen Tools for Digging in the Dirt offers simple mindfulness verses to connect the mind and body and to bring the gardener's awareness to the details of the present moment as they work in the garden.

A Handful of Quiet presents one of the best known and most innovative meditation practices developed by Thich Nhat Hanh as part of the Plum Village community's practice with children. Pebble meditation is a playful and fun activity that parents and educators can do with their children to introduce them to meditation.

Not Quite Nirvana: A Skeptic's Journey to Mindfulness is the story of how skeptical, fast-talking New Yorker Rachel Neumann became Thich Nhat Hanh's editor, turned 40, realized she was aging, and slowly and reluctantly started to absorb mindfulness practice and grow up.

Awakening Joy is more than just another book about happiness. James Baraz and Shoshana Alexander present time-tested practices to train the mind to learn new ways of thinking — to move from distraction toward the contentment and delight that is abundantly available in everyday life.

Parallax Press is the premier publisher of Thich Nhat Hanh, offering works for beginners, experienced practitioners, children, and families. It also publishes other important authors on socially engaged Buddhism, including the Dalai Lama, Joanna Macy, and Sister Chan Khong.

“We are committed to making these teachings accessible to everyone and preserving them for future generations,” says Travis. He heads up the small and dedicated staff, working together to create a workplace that mirrors the ideals of mindfulness and interbeing, that is communicated so beautifully in their books.
