Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Drawing on Eastern tradition, Naikan ("nye-kahn") is a structured method for intensely meditating on our lives, our interconnections, our missteps. Through Naikan we develop a natural and profound sense of gratitude for blessings bestowed on us by others, blessings that were always there but went unnoticed. This collection of introductory essays, parables, and inspirations explains what Naikan is and how it can be applied to life and celebrations throughout the year.

Gregg Krechis Executive Director of the ToDo Institute, a Naikan education and retreat center near Middlebury, Vermont.

Review:

"Through Naikan, a method for intensely meditating on our lives, our interconnections, and our missteps, individuals develop a natural and profound sense of gratitude for blessings bestowed on them and others, and for blessings that were always there but went unnoticed." ForeWord Magazine, Mid-Winter issue, February 2002

Review:

"Naikan will be a sweetly attractive book for retailers, as well as customers, who wish to take the time to reflect on the blessings and miracles of their lives and be grateful. This small volume measures an unusual 6 by 7 inches and feels like a journal that should be gently carried in one's hand . . . Naikan is a fine complement to the works of Thich Nhat Hanh, who reminds us to live with appreciation, awe, humility, and wonder. Once found by customers, this book of truths will provide a steady reordering stream." -New Age Retailer Magazine, July/August 2002

Review:

"The book's central notion of being mindful of the overlooked gifts we receive daily is illuminating and instructive." Publishers Weekly, 1/15/02

Synopsis:

Derived from traditional Shinshu Buddhism, the Japanese practice of Naikan teaches us gratitude and compassion through life meditation and self-reflection.
