A manual on meditation for the use of young activists. From the preface by Nyanaponika: ‘’ Thich Nhat Hanh’s abilities and activities show the rare combination of his being a scholar and a poet, a meditator and a social worker. …. As a dedicated social worker, he established in South Vietnam the School of Youth for Social Service, which was inspired by a deeply Buddhist spirit of compassion and non-violence, and meditation was an integral part of the life of that community. This essay, in fact, takes the form of letters addressed to one of its members.’’ Contents: Editor’s Preface; A Few Words; The Miracle of Being Awake; Thirty Exercises to Practise Mindfulness. Translated from the Vietnamese by Mobi Quynh Hoa. Source: The Buddhist Publication Society (https://www.bps.lk/library.php ). The Wheel Publication No. 234-236; First abridged edition 1976.
