Ten Ways to Be at Home with Yourself
Originally from Australia, Brother Phap Hai is a senior student of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. Prior to becoming a monk, he trained as a chef. Brother Phap Hai is known for his ability to convey complex teachings in an accessible and humorous manner and leads retreats and workshops throughout the United States, Canada, South America, Australia, and Asia. He currently resides at Deer Park Monastery, in California, where he breathes, walks, and smiles on a regular basis.
"There may be nothing to it, but there's plenty here that's
substantial and nourishing. Deeply rooted in the tradition and
teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, but with Phap Hai's own distinct
voice, knowledge, and point of view, this playful, accessible
commentary reads like a conversation with a friend, full of unusual
candor and ease." —Lama Surya Das, founder of the Dzogchen Center
and author of Awakening the Buddha Within
"Brother Phap Hai, like his teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, is not only
concerned with how we live, but willing to meet us where we live.
Nothing to It teaches us simple ways that we might use all the
moments of our lives to rejuvenate our minds, connect with others,
and give strength to our better qualities. Grounded in Buddhist
practice and philosophy, the exercises and encouragement here are
not highfalutin', but practical and doable." —Rod Meade Sperry,
editor of A Beginner's Guide to Meditation
