An initiative by followers of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh to establish a centre for the practice of mindfulness as taught by Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. The BPPC will be a refuge for people of all faiths and none, from all backgrounds and lifestyles. Dharma teachers, senior practitioners and visiting monastics will offer a year-round programme of retreats, events and outreach work. Proceeds from the sale of this book will contribute to fundraising for the centre. We support, advance and encourage the study and practice of Buddhism and mindful living in accordance with the teachings of meditation master Thich Nhat Hanh, in the UK and overseas, in keeping with the Five Mindfulness Trainings of the Order of Interbeing (Tiep Hien). We assist and encourage the formation and activities of regional and local groups having this common purpose.
"""A truly wonderful little book, made with joy. Love and gratitude to all its subscribers, offering us many and varied Dharma lessons and opportunities to practice."" Angie Searle, True Solid Practice Lay Dharma Teacher "" 'Doggie Dharma' is an utterly charming, humorous and moving book. It serves as a reminder that our furry friends are wise, compassionate teachers who show us how to approach each day fully present in the moment, with joy in our hearts."" Lorna Howarth, author of Sandpaper for the Soul ""The book celebrates the special privilege of sharing a period of your life with a dog. We can learn so much from being with, and paying attention to, non-human animals. Contributors to the book share how the dogs in their life have taught them about being in the present moment, opening their hearts, being happy with what they have, and the inspiration of being playful, joyful, friendly, and trusting. A delightful and heart warming book evoking connection, gratitude and joy."" Jane Coatesworth, True Flower of Awakening Lay Dharma Teacher"
