This is the fourth year in a row that I have purchased this little calendar for myself. I have it hanging on the wall next to my computer monitor, so it's very easy to see and refer to. I read the monthly saying everyday. The major Buddhist holidays are included on it, as well as the lunar cycles, so it's easy to follow the lesser celebrations. It's great to have a little bit of Thich Nhat Hanh everyday! As long as they make this calendar, I'll buy it and enjoy it!
This will be my 5th or 6th year with the Thich Nhat Engagement Calendar. Leading a busy life, I have various planners for business and personal appointments. This calendar is used in the Kitchen area for a small brief description of what is happening for each day. There are great Buddha sayings and the paper has beautful embossed flowers or birds each month.
I've been using 7" x 7" mini calendars for years because they fit perfectly on the top door of my refrigerator. This Thich Nhat Hanh calendar is lovely. Each month has a different quote printed on a calm, meditative image. The date portion includes US and some international holidays. It also includes Christian and Jewish holidays, plus some Buddhist, Islamic, Hindu, Wiccan, and Baha'i holidays. The quarterly phases of the moon are noted, and for those interested in astrology, the dates of Mercury Retrograde are indicated. I had no idea that Random Acts of Kindness Week begins on February 11, but I'm glad that's written on this calendar. It makes me smile and feel a bit more connected to the greater community. For a calendar to be able to contribute to that feeling is a pretty amazing thing. Amber Lotus Publishing are the publishers of this calendar. I'll be looking for another one from them next year.
Thich Nhat Hanh's simple messages remind us to be present to the moment. It's fitting to have a calendar full of past and future date that can still work to keep one focused on the day at hand. While I didn't love the images matched with the sayings, I still found this calendar not only meaningful and helpful, but also very functional as the date boxes themselves are easy to read and work with.
I wanted a weekly calendar with room to write appointments and brief notes for each day of the week. Each year I seem to forget to purchase a new calendar in time for the new year, so I was glad this was available and it definitely serves the intended purpose! the quotes are vague and the art is nothing dramatic- I don't notice or care about either of these factors because I keep the calendar open to the weekly page I need.
This Engagement calendar is as pictured. Artwork is elegant. It is very well structured to provide the maximum usefulness and efficiency.
No disappointment here. The pictures for each month are beautiful....serene...and the sayings/teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh for each month of the year are a perfect daily reminder of where "the person" should be or strive to be. In this very hectic world, this is a breath of fresh air. A suggestion for another Thich Nhat Hanh product would be this calendar but in a smaller size for a pocket calendar.
I bought the 2012 edition and I'll keep using this engagement calendar as long as Amber Lotus keeps publishing them. The artwork is beautiful and there are inspirational messages for each month. You get a monthly calendar, which is very handy for scheduling appointments, etc, and a page for each week with plenty of space to write notes for each day. There are also lined pages at the end of each month for notes, which I use for journaling and to track progress on various projects / goals, etc. I would not change a thing about this product!
