With unprecedented access, WALK WITH ME goes deep inside a Zen Buddhist
community who have given up all their possessions and signed up to a life of
chastity for one common purpose – to transform their suffering, and practice
the art of mindfulness with the world-famous teacher Thich Nhat Hanh.
Filmed over three years, in their monastery in rural France and on the road
in the USA, this visceral film is a meditation on a community grappling
with existential questions and the everyday routine of monastic life.
As the seasons come and go, the monastics’ pursuit for a deeper connection to
themselves and the world around them is amplified by insights from
Thich Nhat Hanh’s early journals, narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch.

Awareness of the body #31 your true home the everyday wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh
IN sitting meditation, the first thing is to be aware that you are in a sitting position. Then, you can sit in a way that brings you calm, solidity, and well-being. We can notice the position of our body in each moment, when we are sitting, walking, standing, or lying down. We can be aware of our actions, whether we are sitting up, bending down, or putting on a jacket. Awareness brings us back to ourselves, and when we are fully mindful of our body, and living in the here and now, we are in our true home.
