Item Description

Look deeply into the nature of the mind to find the seeds of true happiness and freedom. This was the Buddha’s great realization—and it is a discovery that the listener, too, can make in any moment. With Happiness, Love, and Liberation: Insights and Teachings from Buddhist Psychology, join Thich Nhat Hanh for seven sessions of advanced teachings and rare insights discovered throughout his seven-decade inquiry into the truths of Buddhist psychology.

From guidance to sitting and walking meditation to an examination of key Buddhist teachings including the Diamond Sutra, the Heart Sutra, and much more, these seven audio-learning sessions are intended to help the listener release worries about past and future—and start living with ease in joyful recognition of the gifts of the present moment.

Highlights:

• How mindfulness and concentration generate happiness and joy
• Meditation as an antidote to agitation and anxiety
• Four basic breathing exercises for accessing peace at any time
• Releasing concepts that lead to suffering
• “Every step a miracle”—the art of walking meditation
• Our intimate connection to our “spiritual ancestors”
• The evolution of science and philosophy
• Zen practice: toward a fuller understanding of reality
• Does suffering ever leave us—even in Paradise?
• The factors of enlightenment
• Eternalism, nihilism, and the Middle Way
• The intersection of Buddhism and modern science
• The art of compassionate, deep listening and loving speech

Sounds True was founded in 1985 by Tami Simon with a clear mission: to disseminate spiritual wisdom. Since starting out with one woman and her tape recorder, Sounds True has grown into a multimedia publishing company with a catalog of over 600 titles, including spoken-word audio, audio learning courses, books, interactive learning kits, music, and instructional DVDs. Their offerings feature some of the leading teachers and visionaries of our time and embrace the world's major spiritual traditions, as well as the arts and humanities.

"Our approach to publishing is not dependent on a single format or technology--rather, we strive with every title to preserve the essential ‘living wisdom’ of the author, artist, or spiritual teacher," says publisher Simon. Sounds True strives to create products that not only provide information to a reader or listener, but that also embody the essential quality of a wisdom transmission between a teacher and a student.

To maintain their integrity as a business and a publisher, Sounds True strives to embody the qualities of consciousness and compassion taught by their authors in the day-to-day business practices and environmental responsibility.
