Editorial Review: Be Free Where You Are is a compendium of the core teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, based on a talk given at a prison. It shows how mindfulness practice can cultivate freedom no matter where you are, and summarizes for the first time all of Thich Nhat Hanh's core teachings making it an outstanding introduction to the ideas and practices of one of the foremost Buddhist teachers alive. Included is a foreword by Sister Chan Kh"ng and an appendix describing how Thich Nhat Hanh's visit impacted those that attended and encouraged their practice.
Reader Reviews for Be Free Where You Are: Customer Rating: Summary: A master of compassionate mindfulness practice Comment: Learning to step out of our habitual world of conditioned reactivity is the heart of the Buddha's path of mindfulness. As we let go of the conditioned, we enter the world of inner freedom that is beyond the limited content of mind. To learn more, I also recommend 'The Path of Mindfulness Meditation' available through Amazon. Customer Rating: Summary: find peace where you are Comment: Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us of our personal power to be at peace... be free... wherever we are... physically, emotionally, mentally. This perfectly sized book easily fits into a pocket... and by randomly opening it, lovely insights and encouragements are offered. With mindful walking, breathing, eating, smiling... the world becomes more than manageable... it becomes beautiful... and this inner light is quite contageous. Buy two of these books.... one to keep and one to give as a gift of love. Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful awakenings. Comment: I have been a fan of Thich Naht Hanh for quite some time and where some books I find don't get to the core of what I like to practice, I find this one really shows that you find peace even if you are locked up in a cell. It shows that even those who were once lost and now are paying for the crimes they commit can overcome them while finding peace in their heart. This peace can be spread to others over time when you find that peace yourself. This was a really touching book, knowing that it was said to many prisoners gives the titles a whole new deeper meaning. Be free where you are. Customer Rating: Summary: My daughter Comment: Sent this to my daughter who is away out of state for college. She liked it. Customer Rating: Summary: small book of joy Comment: I found this little joyful tome a few years ago tucked away in the corner of a bookshop, and reading it made a lasting impact on my attitude towards life. I am not a buddhist, and I would say that the body of the text, which mainly deals with ritual and practice in a meat & potatoes, straight-to-the-point fashion, is rather useless for someone like me, even off-putting. It was the introduction by Sister Chan that earned this volume a spot in my backpack for two years, until the strap broke and I quit carrying it. The introduction is the story that you can't stop thinking about & you can't stop talking about. The teaching in the introduction makes this volume worth every penny worth for anybody like me who identifies with the buddhist practice yet does not identify as buddhist or practice much. If you are feeling stuck or trapped, this book can give you a new perspective on how to liberate yourself through attitude and changing your habits.
