"Nirvana ist unser höchstes Ziel. Es ist das Schönste, was wir in diesem Leben verwirklichen können." Thich Nhat Hanh   Der bekannte Zen-Meister Thich Nhat Hanh erklärt anhand eines alten buddhistischen Textes, wie Erleuchtung in unserem lauten Alltag verwirklicht werden kann. Viele Menschen glauben, dass Nirvana ein entfernter Ort der Glückseligkeit sei. Doch schon der Buddha lehrte, dass es nur im Hier und Jetzt zu finden ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund erläutert Thich Nhat Hanh in diesem buddhistischen Standardwerk die 36 Verse aus dem "Kapitel über Nirvana" des Chinesischen Dharmapada. Er zeigt, wie sehr unser Denken, Reden und Handeln unsere Zukunft bestimmen und wie wir tiefen Frieden und geistige Ruhe in jedem Augenblick verwirklich können. Mit Achtsamkeit und Meditation können wir unserem Leben eine neue, heilsame Richtung geben. Sobald wir bewusst mitbekommen, was in unserem Geist wirklich geschieht, eröffnen sich uns Möglichkeiten für unser Sein.  Wir können frei werden von allen einengenden Vorstellungen - empfänglich für die große Freiheit.  "Nirvana ist ein Wunsch, der sehr tief geht. Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie wachen um vier Uhr morgens auf. Der Mond und die Sterne leuchten hell am Himmel. Die Bäume erwachen mit dem Rauschen des Windes. Alles, was Sie tun müssen, ist, unter Ihrer warmen Bettdecke hervorzuschlüpfen, sich etwas anzuziehen und hinauszugehen, um die Schönheit dieser Nacht zu genießen. Dieses Glück ist vergleichbar mit Nirvana, wir müssen uns aufmachen und empfänglich werden für die große Freiheit."

Die Autobiografie des Zen-Meisters Thich Nhat Hanh über die Anfänge eines beispiellosen spirituellen Lebenswegs Wie wurde Thich Nhat Hanh zu einem spirituellen Meister? Was sind die Schlüsselereignisse in seinem Leben? Nirgendwo werden diese Fragen so deutlich beantwortet wie in Der Duft von Palmenblättern. Der auf Tagebüchern Thich Nhat Hanhs beruhende Text aus den sechziger Jahren erzählt von dem Kontrast von Gewalt und Krieg in Vietnam und der Konsumgesellschaft in den USA. Vor allem lebt er aber von den berührenden und poetischen Passagen über seine ganz menschlichen Gefühle und seine außerordentlichen spirituellen »Durchbrüche«. Der einzigartige Weg des jungen buddhistischen Mönchs und seine Suche nach spiritueller Befreiung und authentisch gelebter Friedfertigkeit beginnt genau hier. In Phuong Boi "Duftende Palmenblätter" beginnt der spirituelle Weg Enttäuscht vom offiziellen Buddhismus in Vietnam baut eine Gruppe junger Mönche ein Kloster in den vietnamesischen Bergen, um ihr Ideal von einem kontemplativen und praktischen Leben zu verwirklichen. Phuong Boi "Duftende Palmenblätter" nennen sie diesen Ort, an dem alles anfängt.   Inmitten der wilden Natur und zurückgezogen in die Abgeschiedenheit der Meditation macht Thich Nhat Hanh die ersten tiefen Erfahrungen der Einheit von völliger Leerheit reinen Gewahrseins und bei gleichzeitiger Verbundenheit mit allen und allem. Wie immer bei Thich Nhat Hanh zeigt sich dies auch in seinem praktischen Engagement, in diesem Fall für die notleidenden vietnamesischen Bauern.  Achtsamkeit und Spiritualität - auch in der westlichen Welt Seine Aktionen zwingen Thich Nhat Hanh jedoch bald zur Ausreise ins die USA als Stipendiat in Princeton: Ein Kulturschock! Es ist spannend und rührend zugleich, wie er sich geduldig und aufmerksam an die Verhältnisse im Westen gewöhnt. Und auch hier macht er einschneidende innere Erfahrungen, deren Schilderung zum Schönsten gehört, was dieser authentische Meister je verfasst hat. Die Geburtsstunde einer großen spirituellen Berufung!
