BOOKS

Parallax Press is a nonprofit publisher founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. And it is the publisher of Chamin Ajjan’s first book Seeking Soulmate: Ditch the Dating Game and Find Real Connection.  They have a beautiful catalog of books and media focused on the art of mindful living. And their mission to help transform suffering and injustice is one close to this group practice’s heart. To view their collection go to parallax.org.
