Publisher Description

One of the most powerful acts of devotion is also one of the most simple: bowing down and surrendering to the earth. This is the basis for The Five Prostrations, a time-honored Buddhist meditation practice that joins the mind and body. On Touching the Earth, Buddhist masters Thich Nhat Hanh and Sister Chan Khong update this ancient teaching for the modern student. You learn each phase of this practice, which will help empty your body of resentment while opening it to compassion for all life.

Through the songs of Sister Chan Khong (whom Thich Nhat Hanh has called a living bodhisattva, or one dedicated to the enlightenment of all beings) you also gain an ancient Buddhist technique for communicating tenderness and healing to your body.

    " I typically adore all things from Thich Nhat Hanh. For whatever reason, this cd did not touch me as deeply as some of his others. It may be that I am in a different place. I cannot say. I shall hold onto this cd and give it another try at some future date to see if it resonates more fully for me. "

About Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh (1926–2022) was a Vietnamese Zen master, poet, scholar, and peace activist who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He wrote more than 100 books of poetry, fiction, and philosophy, with over a million copies in print. He survived three wars, persecution, and more than thirty years of exile. He was a Buddhist monk and the master of a temple in Vietnam, the lineage of which is traceable across two centuries to the Buddha himself.
