  1. Even for those of us who live in the world and are not monastics, the 5 mindfulness trainings are a wonderful benefit to make us better people and more caring individuals

  2. Thich Nhat Hanh changed my life.  His simple, honest and gentle ways have helped me gain peace and bring compassion back to my thinking.  Walking meditation through Plum Village is the most peaceful experience to have.   I took the vows of the Five Mindfulness Trainings at a retreat in 2010 on Cape Cod and each day I try to live these trainings.   JLB
