Now in paperback! Relevant to all schools of Buddhism, this book presents a simple but supremely effective practice for meeting each moment of our lives with mindful awareness, using the Zen precepts as tools to develop a keen insight into the motivations behind every aspect of our behavior—to "wake up to what we do". As we train in mindful action, every situation of our lives becomes our teacher, offering priceless lessons in what it means to be human. It's a simple practice with transformative potential, enabling us to break through our habitual reactions and to see clearly how our own happiness is intimately connected to the happiness and well-being of everyone around us.
