Develop Mindfulness

Thich Nhat Hanh has been a teacher who led me simply into becoming, over time, more present in the moment. His books are a delectable source of food for the soul or True self - the being currently having this human experience. I created an outline from his book The Art of Living in order to have a one page guide to walking in the light of his teaching.  Here it is.

5 MINDFULNESS TRAININGS

1. Reverence For Life

          Cultivate:   openness, non-discrination, non-attachment to views

2. True Happiness

          Commit to practicing generosity in

                            my thinking (was taught to hide what I think)

                            my speaking (taught to please others)

                            my actions/behavior (always please others)

3. True Love

          Cultivate:

                             loving-kindness

                             joy

                             inclusiveness

4. Loving Speech and Deep Listening

          KNOWING that words create happiness or suffering,

          I am Committed to Speaking

                           - truthfully      

                           - using words that inspire confidence, joy, hope

          I am Committed to Listening

                           compassionately from True Love (see #1)

5. Nourishing and Healing (This occurs in the present moment.)
