Containing many chants, recitations, and ceremonial texts in print for the first time, "Plum Village Chanting and Recitation Book is the quintessential resource and reference book for monastic and lay practitioners in Thich Nhat Hanh's worldwide Sangha. It is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to celebrate life and practice the art of mindful living.

The purpose of this book is to educate readers about the merits of recitation as a way of learning. In academia, recitation refers to a presentation made by a student to demonstrate knowledge of a subject or to provide instruction to others. Some academic institutions also use the term to describe a presentation by a teaching assistant or instructor, guided by a senior faculty member, that supplements course materials. In recitations that supplement lectures, the leader will often review the lecture, expand on the concepts, and engage in a discussion with the students.
