Mindfulness Trainings Recitation
Description
A monthly learning and sharing of Buddha's Five guidelines for peaceful ethical living.
Please join Spiritual Friends Sangha for a monthly exploration and recitation of the Buddhist precepts for ethical living, elaborated upon by by Thich Nhat Hanh as the Five Mindfulness Trainings. This is a friendly and supportive space to gather for meditation and reflection on Buddhism's foundational guidelines for living a life with more ease, compassion, mindfulness, and non-harm.
We'll begin with a silent meditation in any posture, then take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, recite the Five Precepts in Pali and enjoy a communal recitation of the Five Mindfulness Trainings. This is followed by a group discussion on how we can gently apply these principles to our daily lives, reflecting on where there are challenges and ease.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, your presence will enrich this gathering.
See you at the Collective!
