Renowned Zen Master and author of more than 60 books, Thich Nhat Hanh presents a celebration of spirituality in this interfaith dialogue between Buddhism and Christianity, demonstrating the power of prayer in our daily lives. Each month pairs an image with teaching text and breathing meditations to support the practice of mindfulness. The aim of these practices is to cultivate the art of living in the present moment, for as this great and gentle teacher has written, "Our true home is in the present moment, and if we want to enter Heaven on Earth, we need only take one conscious step, and one conscious breath." Thay (as he is affectionately called by his students) has for over half a century been a tireless promoter of peace and understanding in the lives of individuals and nations.
