About this ebook
Transform daily routines into moments of mindfulness with this beautifully illustrated collection of 70+ poetic meditations to help you enjoy the present moment.
Even ordinary daily activities offer an opportunity to return to a state of mindfulness. These gathas, or mindfulness verses, can be recited while washing the dishes, driving the car, or even standing in line—helping you to slow down and enjoy every part of your day, both big and small.
When we focus our mind on a gatha, we return to ourselves and become more aware of each action. When the gatha ends, we continue our activity with heightened awareness. As exercises in both mediation and poetry, gathas are very much in keeping with the Zen tradition.
Featuring beautiful illustrations, this inspiring collection will help you bring mindfulness into your daily routine so you can connect to the joy of the present moment.

About the author
Thich Nhat Hanh was a world-renowned spiritual teacher and peace activist. Born in Vietnam in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. Over seven decades of teaching, he published more than 100 books, which have sold more than four million copies in the United States alone. Exiled from Vietnam in 1966 for promoting peace, his teachings on Buddhism as a path to social and political transformation are responsible for bringing the mindfulness movement to Western culture. He established the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in France, now the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe and the heart of a growing community of mindfulness practice centers around the world. He passed away in 2022 at the age of 95 at his root temple, Tu Hieu, in Hue, Vietnam.
