That is precisely the core spirit of mindfulness that Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh devoted his life to teaching. He was not only a monk. He was a peace builder, a global thinker, and a bridge between Eastern meditation and Western daily life. His method of calming the mind is neither complex nor mystical. On the contrary, it is so simple that modern people often doubt it—yet its effectiveness is almost immediate.

And when observed closely, golfers—especially experienced ones—are practicing mindfulness in a way that closely mirrors his teachings.
