Travis Masch responded with characteristic generosity when asked about donating to this year's auction. "I'll see what I have in my attic!" he said, and he wasn't kidding. But then again his is no ordinary attic. As Parallax Press publisher his attic is particularly rich with possibilities. He emerged with two books authored and signed by Thich Nhat Hanh, one of the best known and most respected Zen masters in the world today.

This auction offering pairs together Transformation at the Base: 50 Verses on the Nature of Consciousness and Cultivating the Mind of Love: The Practice of Looking Deeply in the Mahayana Buddhist Tradition described as "a most unusual Dharma teaching: the story of his first love." Both are signed and no longer available in this original format.

Parallax Press is the premier publisher of Thich Nhat Hanh, offering works for beginners, experienced practitioners, children, and families. It also publishes other important authors on socially engaged Buddhism, including the Dalai Lama, Joanna Macy, and Sister Chan Khong.

“We are committed to making these teachings accessible to everyone and preserving them for future generations,” says Travis. He heads up the small and dedicated staff, working together to create a workplace that mirrors the ideals of mindfulness and interbeing, that is communicated so beautifully in their books.
