"Mindfulness makes life true and real. And when you touch yourself with mindfulness, you become real and true." In this fascinating dialogue between Thich Nhat Hanh, one of the foremost teachers of Buddhism in the West; and New Dimensions Radio host Michael Toms, the concepts of soul, impermanence, and mindfulness are explored.
"Everything is impermanent," Thich Nhat Hanh says. "Not only is your body impermanent, but your feelings, your perceptions, your mental formations, your consciousness . . . Instead of complaining that things are impermanent, we have to welcome impermanence as a factor to make life possible - long live impermanence!?
Other topics discussed include:
- how personal and social responsibility follow from being mindful;
- the similarities between Buddhist and Christian concepts of Trinity;
- the concept of soul in Buddhism; and
- the power of a spiritual community.
