In this classic 1989 talk, Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh uses flower arranging as a metaphor for establishing harmony both within ourselves and in our families. Thay, as his followers call him, says: "Beauty is the aim of our art, of our action. We want to arrange flowers because we want life to be beautiful. If you take care of your flower, you will become fresh, smiling, and you will recognize people around you as flowers too. In that way you have been rearranging these flowers, making them smile again."

      This live recording of a talk by Hahn is an introduction to meditation through the act of doing a simple everyday task such as flower arranging. Arranging flowers is a metaphor for arranging our lives in beauty, harmony, and peace. This talk embodies many of the basic precepts of Hahn's teachings and is an accessible introduction to the practice of meditation. Following a brief statement by Hahn, a sweet song is presented. Then the talk begins. As it's a live recording, this presentation includes background talking and noise. However, listening to Hahn requires close attention in any case because of his accented English. J.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
