TRANSFORMATION AND HEALING: Sutra on the Four Establishments of Mindfulness By Thich Nhat Hanh

Transformation and Healing presents the ancient teachings of the Buddha on how to maintain mindfulness of the body, the feelings, the mind, and the objects of the mind, in order to live fully and realize liberation and joy in each moment. With three translations of the Sutra on the Four Establishments of Mindfulness and Thich Nhat Hanh’s insightful commentary and exercises, it guides the reader to an understanding of the fundamental basis of the Buddhist practice and encourages application in daily life. It teaches how to be intimate with ourselves; how to deal with anger, jealousy, and trauma; how to nurture the best qualities in our children, spouse, and friends; and how to greet death with compassion and equanimity. The book gives readers the basics of breathing and how to use their breathing for meditation and contemplation.
