Basket of Plums: Songs in the Tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh

Edited by Joseph Emet

Bring the music of mindfulness into your life with this beautiful songbook and two CD sets that shares the songs of Plum Village, Thich Nhat Hanh's Zen Buddhist community in southwest France.
Canadian composer and songwriter Joseph Emet has collected songs of Plum Village, and set to music many of Thich Nhat Hanh's most well-known poems. This songbook includes traditional hymns as well as Emet's own lyrics and compositions.
Each song captures a different facet of the practice of mindfulness. There are songs for walking, sitting, breathing, eating, and enjoying the present moment. Whether you choose to listen to the CD, sing along, or play the music yourself, A Basket of Plums is a perfect way to learn about mindfulness. It gives you the opportunity to be part of Plum Village wherever you are.
