Breath Sweeps Mind: A First Guide to Meditation Practice
edited by Jean Smith, Riverhead
Books, 1998
“The reasons why we meditate are,
paradoxically, both deeply individual and profoundly universal.
This is precisely why the collection of essays in "Breath Sweeps
Mind" is such an effective tool for teaching mediation. Each
unique voice, from Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh
to American poet Gary Snyder, speaks eloquently from personal experience.”
— Editor, Gail
Hudson, on selection of Breath
Sweeps Mind as one of Amazon.com’s
Top Ten spirituality books for 1998.
