Dear Sangha,
Thay’s book, The Art of Living, is in many ways the culminating fruit of his seven decades of study, practice and teaching. He developed his deepest teachings during the three-month winter retreat with the monastics and a few lay friends, and then condensed it into the 21-day retreat held every other year in Plum Village. This book is the teachings he presented at his last 21-day retreat, in June 2014. It is a true gem centered on seven concentrations: emptiness, signlessness, aimlessness, impermanence, non-desire, profound release, and nirvana. I look forward to exploring it with you.
