'Breathing brings the secret joy of meditation to you. You become joyful, fresh and tolerant and everyone around you will benefit.'
The Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing is one of the three most essential
teachings of the Buddha. In Breathe! You Are Alive, scholar, poet and Zen master
Thich Nhat Hanh unfolds this core teaching, showing how to apply it to
everyday life. He explains the methods of conscious breathing that are presented
in the sutra and offers exercises for practising those methods today. Moreover, his
engaging commentary shows the profound nourishment that can be available to
us when we slow down and get in touch with our breathing. Breathe! You Are
Alive shows how we all begin to take in peace and happiness with each and
every breath.
