Mindfulness on the trail

Hiking Zen brings Zen practice into the outdoors through concrete exercises for mindful walking and hiking. Phap Xa and Phap Luu draw on their experiences as Buddhist monks and veteran hikers, including insights from multi-week mindful hiking retreats. Alongside trail practices, the book considers how connection with nature relates to personal and collective well-being, and offers ways to carry mindful walking into everyday life. Its blend of practical guidance, monastic experience, and reflection frames hiking as a practice that can extend beyond the trail.
