Vietnamese master Thich Nhat Hanh presents three translations of the Satipatthana Sutta, or Sutra on the Four Establishments of Mindfulness, along with his own insightful commentary. Two of the versions come from the Chinese Canon and one from the Theravada Pali Canon. He includes twenty very practical exercises, or contemplations, to aid in the practice of mindfulness in daily life. This sutra presents one of the most essential 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. Offering guidance on handling our emotions and nurturing the best qualities in our families and friends, this book illustrates the possibilities for transforming and healing ourselves so that we can be a resource for the transformation and healing of others. "When body and mind are one, the wounds in our hearts, minds and bodies begin to heal." Thich Nhat Hanh.
