Item Description
Melvin McLeod, editor of You Are Here, writes in his inscription that: "A true teacher is telling us the truth, clearly and simply. What is deeper than that? I hope you benefit from this book as much as I have."
"Editing the dharma" says Melvin, "is one of the best ways to study it, and working on Shambhala Publications' new book by Thich Nhat Hanh, You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment, was a life-changing teaching for me. I can't really say it better than I did in my introduction to the book:
This is not a book of philosophy. It is not about Buddhism. This book is Buddhism, because Buddhism is a living lineage of transmission from teacher to student. Through this book you have the privilege of receiving direct teachings from one of the most important Buddhist masters of our time. I think of it as an extended guided meditation, a traditional form of teaching in which the master guides the students in real time along the path of wisdom. So I recommend you don't read this book so much as listen to it. You might even visualize yourself sitting in the audience as this great Zen teacher delivers his talks. As I read this book, I find myself very much in his presence.
To me, you're not just reading a book by Thich Nhat Hanh. You're sitting in the presence of the one of the seminal Buddhist teachers of this age and receiving a personal teaching, one that begins with the simple awareness I am breathing, and takes you from there to enlightnment itself." Shambhala Publications publishes books that present creative and conscious ways of transforming the individual, the society, and the planet. It presents dharma expressed beyond the meditation cushion, in everyday activities and all spheres of human endeavor, including psychology and the sciences, the arts and creativity, business and economics, and health and healing.
