Join a reading group with a difference… Mindful Bedtime Reading – Live Online via Zoom

You are warmly invited to join us for Mindful Bedtime Reading, from Wednesday 25th May 7:00pm, as we share another work of the wonderful master of mindfulness, Thich Nhat Hanh. Each week over the 8-week program, we will read from the text and share short mindfulness and meditation practices throughout the sessions (no experience necessary).

Attend all the sessions (it may just become your favourite day of the week) or drop in when you can. The same link provides access to all sessions. All welcome!

Reserve a copy through the library catalogue (we have extras), or buy your own from your favourite book shop.  Any questions please contact Angie angie.hazelton-kelly@pmhc.nsw.gov.au 65818755 or Kate Forrest thisabundantlife108@gmail.com 0437509195.

About the book:

In Buddha Mind, Buddha Body Revered Zen Buddhist teacher and best-selling author Thich Nhat Hanh explores the connection between psychology, neuroscience, and meditation.

In his previous book Understanding Our Mind, Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh explored Buddhist psychology and its applications in everyday life. Here, he continues that study by asking, “Is free will possible?” as he examines how the mind functions and how we can work with it to cultivate more freedom and understanding, be in closer touch with reality, and create the conditions for our own happiness.

Drawing stories from the life of the Buddha and Hanh’s own experiences, Buddha Mind, Buddha Body addresses such topics as:

  • The importance of creativity and visualisation in a mediation practice
  • Basic Buddhist meditation practices such as sitting and walking meditation
  • The importance of brotherhood and sisterhood in everyday life

Delivered in Hahn’s inimitable light, clear, and often humorous style, Buddha Mind, Buddha Body will appeal to those new and familiar with Buddhist psychology.
