By:
- Synopsis
-
The Five Mindfulness Trainings are the basic statement of ethics and morality in Buddhism.
Thich Nhat Hanh calls these trainings a "diet for a mindful society," and discusses the insights and challenges of how these precepts can heal our personal lives and the life of our society. Referred to as the Wonderful Precepts - "protecting life, acting with generosity, responsible sexual behavior, deep speaking and listening, and avoiding substance abuse" - these teachings can contribute to the discussion on finding secular guidelines that will allow us to sustain a compassionate life together.Introduction by Joan Halifax. Afterword by Jack Kornfield.
