Rent The Sun My Heart: Reflections on Mindfulness, Concentration, and Insight

Synopsis

The Sun My Heart is one of Thich Nhat Hanh's most beloved books. Using the objects and events of everyday life in his hermitage in Plum Village - the gradual settling of the pulp in a glass of apple juice or the wind blowing into the room and scattering papers about - Thich Nhat Hanh draws from Buddhist psychology, epistemology, and the world of contemporary literature and science to guide the reader along the path of clarity and understanding. This book can be read straight through, but is also designed to be opened randomly and experienced chapter by chapter, paragraph by paragraph. Nhat Hanh suggests that the book "prefers to be a friend rather than a book. You can take it with you on the bus or subway as you do your coat or your scarf. It can give you small moments of joy at any time."
