O knihe
In The Height of Fearlessness, co-authors Mitsuko "Mimi" Iwama and Mia Iwama Hastings have created an inspiring memoir that recounts Mimi's childhood in Japan during the waning days of World War II. As the country works to rebuild itself after the war, Mimi's mother takes her to the flower-mountain Hanaokayama to recover from an illness. There, her mother uses the natural beauty of their surroundings to teach Mimi the essential skills of meditation and mindfulness.
Every chapter is organized around a profound life lesson from Mimi's time on Hanaokayama. Some are abstract, others mundane and familiar, and each one is brought to life using stories from Mimi's childhood. At the end of each chapter, the authors offer a brief meditation to inspire the reader to absorb the lessons of the story more fully-including the meaning of a Japanese word related to each lesson-making for an even deeper study into the origins, principles, and meaning of traditional, no-frills meditation practice.
Examples include:
Show kansha, appreciation and gratitude, for all positive aspects of your life.
Life is fleeting like sakura, the cherry blossom, so live wisely and courageously.
You are a unique takara, treasure, and there is no one like you in the world.
