These excerpts for meditation have been taken from the text "The Sun My Heart" by Thich Nhat Hanh. Thích Nhất Hạnh (1926 - 2022) was a Vietnamese Thiền/Chan Buddhist monk, peace activist, prolific author, poet and teacher, who founded the Plum Village Tradition, historically recognized as the main inspiration for engaged Buddhism. Known as the "father of mindfulness", Nhất Hạnh was a major influence on Western practices of Buddhism. Music - "Flying" from the album "Flying", composed by Peder B. Helland.
