Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
 
Developed during a summer retreat at the meditation center of Plum Village, these poetic verses were designed to turn ordinary daily activities into beautiful moments of mindfulness. Recite them while washing the dishes, driving your car, or even standing in line!
 
Each of the 79 verses is paired with enlightening commentary that will give you the space and heart to live each day in a connected and calm way. With beautiful illustrations and Thich Nhat Hanh’s timeless wisdom, this inspiring collection will help you slow down and enjoy every moment.
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.
