The Mindfulness Survival Kit by Thich Nhat Hanh Pdf

The Five Mindfulness Trainings (also referred to as "Precepts")—not to kill, steal, commit adultery, lie, or take intoxicants—are the basic statement of ethics and morality in Buddhism. Zen Master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh argues eloquently for their applicability in our daily lives and on a global scale. Nhat Hanh discusses the value and meaning of each precept, offering insights into the role that it could play in our changing society. Thich Nhat Hanh calls the trainings a "diet for a mindful society." With this book he offers a Buddhist contribution to the current thinking on how we can come together to define secular, moral guidelines that will allow us to explore and sustain a sane, compassionate, and healthy way of living. 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.

Vipassana Meditation and Mindfulness by Louise Waghorn Pdf

Mindfulness in itself is a powerful tool. But Vipassana sees mindfulness as one tool among many. Mindfulness isn't practiced solely to improve oneself, but to effect positive change in the world. Compassion for others is actively fostered and reflection on beneficial behavior encouraged. This book is an introduction to the philosophy behind Vipassana Meditation, and information on how to practice Vipassana style mindfulness in your daily life. It includes information on various meditation techniques, and about the various meditation retreats offered worldwide. If you can't, you'll find suggestions in this book for a DIY retreat, or how to start a daily practice of your own. Here is a few of the topics covered: Simple Vipassana meditation techniques What is mindfulness meditation What is insight meditation The Benefits of vipassana meditation How to practice meditation at home Why medidate Buddhist meditation methods Buddhist insights Vipassana meditation effects Life after vipassana How to make Vipassana a daily practice Vipassana meaning Vipassana sitting Mindfulness has been a powerful tool, enabling me to quiet my mind when I need to, and granting me the strength and focus needed to address problems rather than worry about them. As I continued on my mindfulness journey, I began to feel that there was something missing. I then noticed that my spiritual side was unfulfilled. As I explored first Yoga, then Vipassana Meditation, I found what I was looking for. I hope that this book does the same for you.
