About Walking Meditation
What if every step you took deepened your connection with all of life and imprinted peace, joy, and serenity on the earth? With Walking Mediation, you will enjoy the first in-depth instructional program in this serene spiritual practice to help you walk with presence and peace of mind whether in nature or on a busy city street. Presented in a unique format that combines a book with a DVD and an audio CD, Walking Mediation features esteemed Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh along with one of his principle students, Nguyen Anh-Huong, as they together illuminate the central tenets of his powerful art, including:
- How to recognise the miracle in simply walking - not as a means to an end, but as the opportunity to touch the fullness of life
- Reversing 'habit energy' through the unification of body and mind
- Using walking meditation to work with difficult emotions such as anger and anxiety, and much more
There is a Buddhist concept known as Apranihita, or spirit of 'wishlessness', in which one neither pursues desires nor flees from discomfort. With Walking Meditation, practitioners from every spiritual tradition will rediscover 'our home in the here and now, as the long road we all must walk turns to quiet joy'.

About Thich Nhat Hanh
Thich Nhat Hanh was born Nguyễn Xuân Bảo in Thừa Thiên (Central Vietnam) in 1926. At the age of 16 he entered the monastery at Từ Hiếu Temple near Huế, Vietnam, where his primary teacher was Dhyana (meditation; Zen) Master Thanh Quý Chân Thật. A graduate of Bao Quoc Buddhist Academy in Central Vietnam, Thich Nhat Hanh received training in Zen (in Vietnamese: Thiền) and the Mahayana school of Buddhism and was ordained as a monk in 1949. Thich Nhat Hanh is now recognized as a Dharmacharya and as the spiritual head of the Từ Hiếu Temple and associated monasteries. He is the Elder of the Từ Hiếu branch of the 8th generation of the Liễu Quán lineage in the 42nd generation of the Lâm Tế Dhyana school (Lin Chi Chan in Chinese or Rinzai Zen in Japanese). On May 1st, 1966 at Từ Hiếu Temple, Thich Nhat Hanh received the “lamp transmission”, making him a Dharmacharya or Dharma Teacher, from Master Chân Thật. Thich Nhat Hanh has combined his deep knowledge of a variety of traditional Zen teaching methods with methods from Theravada Buddhism and ideas from Western psychology to form his approach to modern Zen practice. Thich Nhat Hanh has become an important influence in the development of Western Buddhism.
In 1956 he was named Editor-in-Chief of Vietnamese Buddhism, the periodical of the Unified Vietnam Buddhist Association (Giáo Hội Phật Giáo Việt Nam Thống Nhất). In the following years he founded Lá Bối Press, the Van Hanh Buddhist University in Saigon, and the School of Youth for Social Service (SYSS), a corps of Buddhist peace workers who went into rural areas to establish schools, build health care clinics, and help re-build villages.
