This
Week At St. Paul's
/ Suggested Readings
We have lots of great new books in the library and I will highlight a
few of them each month. This time, I would like to call your attention
to two books which are appropriate compliments to the Buddhist
Meditation for Christians classes in which some of you are
participating.
In
Living Buddha, Living Christ, Thich
Nhat Hanh tells us how to use Buddhist meditation to rediscover the
values in our own tradition. About the author, Martin Luther King, Jr.
says, “Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man, for he is humble and devout. He is
a scholar of immense intellectual capacity. His ideas for peace, if
applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to
humanity.”
Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon
Kabat-Zinn was my own introduction to mindfulness meditation. I read it
years ago and I’ve been reading it ever since. Written in short chapters
with accessible language, it’s great for beginners or for those who want
to deepen their meditation practice.
