This book discusses the problem everyone faces with depression and how to combat it through the Zen path with wisdom and meditation. It is a matter of being disciplined everyday with training.

It is not by being sloppy, but merely it is a form of action we take where we could live our lives with a degree of focus and then free ourselves of depression.

It is filled with quotidian anecdotes that are intended to uplift and entertain the soul.

A hajdanvolt Gautama Sziddharta hercegtől, Buddhától egyszer valaki megkérdezte: Ki vagy? Isten vagy? Nem. Angyal? Nem. Szent? Nem. Akkor ki vagy? - Ébren vagyok. Buddha neve annyit jelent: ébernek lenni. Az emberiség hét mértékadó szellemi tanítója között azonban ő nem a teória, hanem az életgyakorlat bölcse. Józansága évezredeken világít át, és útján a mai napig milliók követik. Ő az alapállás (Hamvas) mestere. Az alapállás végtelenül egyszerű. Ez csak az első, kiinduló állapot, de "nincs ennél az egyszerűnél semmi nehezebb".

The idea is to give people a simple way to model their conscious experience from one moment to the next. Doing so will help them to realize a greater appreciation for life in the present moment. Right now, your conscious experience consists of your thoughts, your feelings, and any and all sensations (or sense experiences). Modeling instantaneous moments helps us break down our conscious experience from one moment to the next, allowing us to focus on life in the present moment, just as it is.

Every moment is a gift of life. In the spirit of his best seller The Miracle of Mindfulness, beloved Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh offers personal anecdotes, meditations and advice to help you mindfully connect with your present experience.

This is a companion book which complements your chosen path and will help you remember that which you have been searching for.
