Moments of Joy | Free Book
Like a master gardener, over the years the revered Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh has cultivated a host of brilliant monastics in the Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism. Living simply and practicing deeply for many years in the French countryside, Sister Jina van Hengel is one of Plum Village's most beloved senior Dharma teachers, known for her embodiment of the teachings, her warmth of character, and her Zen poetry.
For readers of natural contemplatives in the vein of Mary Oliver, Thomas Merton, and, of course, Thich Nhat Hanh, these poems teach us to savor everyday life with awareness and gratitude.

"These light, refreshing, and often humorous gems of
poetry will gladden your heart on a rainy day and enhance the
sunshine. Composed by a Buddhist nun who has diligently practiced
mindfulness and concentration for many years, they are like drops of
morning dew that wash away all confusion and lead to the flowering of
insight."
—Sister Annabel Laity, author of
True Virtue: The Autobiography of a Western Buddhist Nun
"A beautiful body of work that somehow feels as though it was
written a century ago, and a century from now, at the very same time.
These are simple observations that too often go unnoticed, the raw,
perfect beauty of little moments. We all struggle to stay in the
present, to absorb the beauty around us, but while reading this book,
you cannot drift away."
—Tyler Knott Gregson, author
of Miracle in the Mundane: Poems, Prompts, and Inspiration to Unlock
Your Creativity and Unfiltered Joy
