Schritte der Achtsamkeit

Thich Nhat Hanh, a Zen monk living in exile in France, is considered one of the most important Buddhist teachers in the West. Together with various representatives of the Tier Hien order, he makes a pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya in the spring of 1997. His destination is the "Tree of Knowledge", the place where Buddha found his spiritual knowledge many centuries ago. Together with Thich Nhat Hanh, the viewer embarks on a journey to the cradle of Buddhism. However, his teaching of mindfulness is in no way tied to a specific religious or cultural affiliation. Thich Nhat Hanh's message of peace calls people to always keep the spiritual in mind and to realize it in everyday life.
