Customer Reviews
Indespensable for those seeking Buddhist meditation
After searchiing for meditation exercises in the true Buddhist tradition, this book was a revelation, like the opening of a flower. It is all you need for everyday meditation, deep meditation on death, aging, beauty, love, body, mind--it has it all. And it is so elegantly translated it reads like poetry, every time you look at it. If you are looking for the inspiration to do your own guided meditation, get this one.
Meditation exercises to nourish and transform.
I have read several of Thich Nhat Hanh's books and consider them invaluable. While I have found all of his books to contain insights and helpful advice two, The Blooming of a Lotus and Present Moment, Wonderful Moment, stand out in their application in my daily life. Present Moment, Wonderful Moment supplies short verses that helps bring mindfulness to my daily activities. In The Blooming of a Lotus, Thich Nhat Hanh provides 34 meditation exercises from the simplest to the most sublime. The practices in this book are meant to be guided meditation exercises but I use them in my daily meditation practice. There are short, simple exercises to ease the pain, stress and turmoil of day to day existence, and lengthier exercises that allow me to look deeply into my life, releasing and healing long pent up pain and trauma. I have been using these exercises for two years and I feel I have only begun to probe their potential to help. The author's Being Peace and Peace is Every Step are among the important books I return to every day for inspiration on why I should meditate and practice mindfulness. But nothing compares to The Blooming of a Lotus for its power to daily nourish and transform.
