Sample Book Insights: #1 The Five Precepts are the guidelines for an ethical life. They were revised in 1985 to reflect the way people were living at that time. But now, more than twenty-five years later, it is time to look at them again. #2 The First Noble Truth is that there is ill-being in the world. The Second Noble Truth is the causes of our ill-being. When we look into ill-being deeply, we can see how it has developed. The Second Noble Truth illuminates the path that has led us to suffering. #3 The Third Noble Truth is the end of ill-being, and it implies that there is a path that leads to well-being. Transformation and happiness are possible. We don’t have to stay stuck. #4 The Fourth Noble Truth is the path to well-being, and it is found in the nature of ill-being. When we look into the nature of our suffering, we may begin to see not only the path that led to our suffering, but the path leading away from our suffering.

Zen Master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh argues eloquently for their applicability in our daily lives and on a global scale.

The Five Mindfulness Trainings offer a path to restoring meaning and value in our world, whether called virtues, ethics, moral conduct, or precepts they are guidelines for living without bringing harm to others.

Sample Book Insights: #1 Allen has learned to adjust to the family life in France. He no longer divides his time into parts, but considers his time with his son and wife as his own time. He has unlimited time for himself. #2 While washing the dishes, one should only be washing the dishes, which means that while washing the dishes, you should be completely aware of the fact that you are washing the dishes. This is a simple thing, but it is important to remember that it is a wondrous reality. #3 If we can’t wash the dishes, we won’t be able to drink our tea. We are thus sucked away into the future, and we are incapable of actually living one minute of life. #4 If you can’t eat a single section of a tangerine, you can’t eat the tangerine. Jim understood this. He slowly put his hand down and focused on the presence of the slice already in his mouth. He chewed it thoughtfully before taking another section.
Download or read book Good Citizens written by Thich Nhat Hanh and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2008-06-14 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Good Citizens, Thich Nhat Hanh lays out the foundation for an international solidarity movement based on a shared sense of compassion, mindful consumption, and right action. Following these principles, he believes, is the path to world peace. The book is based on our increased global interconnectedness and subsequent need for harmonious communication and a shared ethic to make our increasingly globalized world a more peaceful place. The book will be appreciated by people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds. While based on the basic Buddhist teachings of the Four Noble Truths and the Eight-Fold Path, Thich Nhat Hanh boldly leaves Buddhist terms behind as he offers his contribution to the creation of a truly global and nondenominational blueprint to overcoming deep-seated divisions and a vision of a world in harmony and the preservation of the planet. Key topics include the true root causes of discrimination; the exploration of the various forms of violence; economic, social, and sexual violence. He encourages the reader to practice nonviolence in all daily interactions, elaborates on the practice of generosity, and teaches the art of deep listening and loving speech to help reach a compromise and reestablish communication after misunderstandings have escalated into conflicts. Good Citizens also contains a new wording of the Five Mindfulness Trainings (traditionally called "precepts") for lay practitioners, bringing them in line with modern-day needs and realities. In their new form they are concrete and practical guidelines of ethical conduct that can be accepted by all traditions. Good Citizens also includes the complete text of the UN Manifesto 2000, a declaration of transforming violence and creating a culture of peace for the benefit of the children of the world. It was drafted by numerous Peace Nobel Prize recipients and signed by over 100 million people worldwide. Coinciding with a US presidential election year, Good Citizens reaches across all political backgrounds and faith traditions. It shows that dualistic thinking—Republican/Democrat, Christian/Muslim—creates tension and a false sense of separateness. When we realize that we share a common ethic and moral code, we can create a community that can change the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Profound and hopeful . . . Sister Dang Nghiem integrates the neuroscience of trauma, effective treatments, and mindfulness training. Highly recommended.” —Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Buddha's Brain Learn the accessible and deeply compassionate practices for healing trauma, known as the Five Strengths of applied Zen Buddhism. More than a philosophy, these body-based practices are backed by modern neuroscience research, and they can be applied by anyone suffering from trauma to begin experiencing relief. Mindfulness teacher Sister Dang Nghiem, MD, is an inspiration for anyone who has ever suffered from abuse, life-changing loss, severe illness, or the aftermath of war. In Flowers in the Dark, she brings together her lived experience as a survivor, certified MD, and ordained Buddhist teacher to offer a body-based, practical approach to healing from life's most difficult and painful experiences. Offering insights from Buddhist psychology and simple somatic practices for tapping into our Five Strengths—our inner faculties of self-trust, diligence, mindfulness, concentration, and insight—Sister Dang Nghiem’s approach to trauma is radically accessible; it begins with awareness of our breathing. With each chapter containing a progression of guided reflections and exercises, this book can be read as an adjunct to therapy and a helpful guide for moving through trauma in the body. With the practice of mindfulness, we can access our strength as survivors and our joy in being alive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The way to maintain your presence in the present moment is through mindfulness of the breath. Do not struggle with your breath, or your body, or your hate, or your anger. Be tender with these things, and let them be as they are. #2 In the practice of Buddhist meditation, we do not turn ourselves into a battlefield of good versus evil. The good must take care of the evil as a big brother takes care of his little brother, or a big sister takes care of her little sister - with a great deal of tenderness and a spirit of nonduality. #3 When you are experiencing joy, try to breathe in this way. You respect your in-breath, your out-breath, your physical body, and your mental formations. The in-breath moves inward, the out-breath moves outward. In and out. It’s child’s play, but it provides a great deal of happiness. #4 The first miracle of mindfulness is your own presence, which is the energy of Buddha. With this energy dwelling in you, you become completely alive. You can generate this energy of mindfulness by practicing meditation, breathing mindfully, and drinking your tea mindfully.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The foundation of all mindfulness practice is to bring your attention to your in-breath and out-breath. This is called mindful breathing, and it is simple but extremely effective. When you breathe in, you feel the air filling your lungs. #2 When you breathe in, bring your attention to your in-breath. When you breathe out, bring your attention to your out-breath. When you breathe in, bring your mind back to a reunion with your body. #3 When you practice breathing like this, it puts you in touch with all the wonders of life. The beauty of life is nourishing you. You are free from your worries and fears. You get in touch with your breath and your body. #4 Don’t force your breath. If your in-breath is short, let it be short. If it’s not very peaceful, let it be like that. We don’t intervene, force, or work on our breath. We just become aware of it and after some time, the quality of our breathing will improve naturally.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The energy of mindfulness is the salve that will recognize and heal the child within. To cultivate this energy, we must be mindful as we go about our daily lives, and be present with what we are doing. #2 When we notice a seed of anger arise, we can touch the seed of mindfulness and invite it to come up too. Mindfulness is always mindfulness of something. When we breathe mindfully, that is mindfulness of breathing. When we walk mindfully, that is mindfulness of walking. #3 We can use massage to help the blood circulation in our body. When the blood doesn’t circulate well, our organs can’t function properly, and we get sick. When our psyche doesn’t circulate well, our mind will become sick. #4 We try to block our painful thoughts from arising by filling our living room with other guests. We call a friend, pick up a book, or turn on the television to keep our minds occupied. But all mental formations need to circulate. If we don’t let them come up, it creates bad circulation in our psyche, and symptoms of mental illness and depression begin to manifest.

Download or read book Mindful Movements written by Thich Nhat Hanh and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2008-07-10 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, Thich Nhat Hanh and his monastic community in Plum Village, have developed more and more ways to integrate mindfulness practices into every aspect of their daily life. A few years back Thich Nhat Hanh began to develop gentle exercises based on Yoga and Tai Chi movements. Initially designed as mindful stretching breaks between long periods of sitting meditation, Mindful Movements became a popular tool to complement to sitting meditation extending Thich Nhat Hanh's trademark gentle approach to Buddhist teachings into a series of physical movements. These movements enjoy a growing popularity amongst his students and have become integral part of his retreats. These simple and effective practices are meant to reduce stress and tension to help the practitioner gain the serenity he needs to return to a state of mindfulness. When done as part of a full mediation practice, theses movements can address mental, emotional, and physical stress. Offered to the general public for the first time, the Mindful Movements have been lovingly illustrated by one of Thich Nhat Hanh's long-time practitioner, Wietske Vriezen. Drawn in a whimsical and immediately appealing style the booklet presents 10 routines that can be practiced by people of all ages and body types whether they are already familiar with mindfulness practices or not. The Mindful Movements are designed to be accessible to as many people as possible. Far from being another exercise program, Mindful Movements is for all those wanting to add a gentle but physical element to their meditation practice.They can be practiced before or after sitting meditation, at home, or at work - any time you have a few minutes to refresh your body and quiet your mind. For those new to meditation they are a great, non-threatening way to get acquainted with mindfulness as a complete and multi-faceted practice. For those who already have an established sitting practice Mindful Movements will come as a welcomed addition to their practice. With a foreword by Thich Nhat Hanh and Introduction by Jon Kabat-Zinn [TBC]

Sample Book Insights: #1 I have struggled with my weight all my life. I am tired of carrying this extra weight around. I do not feel good. Every day is a struggle for me. Every night is a nightmare. I have diabetes now, and I am really worried. #2 The food court at the local shopping mall is a feast of choices that can overwhelm the senses. The abundance of aromas, colors, and sounds awaken your palate and your urge to eat. In and of itself, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But it often leads to eating automatically whether we’re actually hungry or not. #3 The food industry spends more on advertising than any other industry except the auto industry. They want consumers to consume as much food and drink as they can, and then have some more. #4 The Buddha teaches that change requires insight, and insight cannot begin until we stop and focus our attention on what is happening right in front of us. We must step off our frantic life treadmills, stop unconsciously doing the same things over and over again, and reflect on a constructive way forward.
