Chanting from the Heart Vol. 2: The second volume in the revised edition of Chanting from the Heart, by Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh and the monks and nuns of Plum Village.
Vol. 2: Ceremonies and Practices in the Plum Village Tradition is a collection of Buddhist ceremonies for all occasions and musical notation for Plum Village chants and songs. It also contains daily practices for meditation sessions as well as practices to accompany daily activities, such as gardening and cleaning, bringing mindfulness into everyday life.
Developed by Thích Nhất Hạnh and used regularly by the monks, nuns, and laypeople at the monasteries and retreat centers established by Thích Nhất Hạnh, as well as by his thousands of lay students worldwide.
The ceremonies section has been updated to contain only the texts necessary for the occasion at hand. This is the first major textual edits made to the material since the 2013 printing. There is also a glossary of Buddhist terms.
You can find the Sutras and Chants for Recitation in Volume 1.
