"The five wonderful precepts are love itself." (Thich Nhat Hanh)

Hi :) Welcome:)

The purpose of this sangha is "to water the mind of love in this beautiful garden of practice" (Thich Nhat Hanh) by sharing and supporting one another in our application of the Five Mindfulness Trainings.

The Five Minfulness Trainings are Thich Nhat Hanh's teaching of the precepts and discussed in his book "For a Future to Be Possible".

**The Five Mindfulness Trainings will be emailed monthly. A gentle reminder.**

See 'Files' for the Trainings, Triple Jewel, and other Buddhist teachings.
See 'Links' for Thich Nhat Hanh related sites including his book publishing site.
See 'Photos' for beautiful photos from Deer Park Monastery's website.

My intent is to offer a warm and safe space where we can support one another with Thay's teachings via a monthly email of the 5MT, message boards and chat; to offer support to all on the path - the curious, the beginner and experienced people and everyone in between.

This sangha is intended to supplement our home or root sangha. For those who do not have one, this could be a resource to find other like-minded people in your area or close by to create a small sangha.

That stated, there are times when going to a local sangha is impossible. These reasons can be due to things, such as, RVing, traveling, having odd/strange work hours, illness, disability, no childcare, living in a remote location, and so on. This sangha is here for those times when we need to connect with like-minded people.

May we gently, joyfully and mindfully walk our path.
Present moment...beautiful moment.
