New Sangha Event: 14 Mindfulness Trainings Recitation
The Order of Interbeing was founded by Thich Nhat Hanh in 1966. Members vow to study, practice and observe the 14 Mindfulness Trainings, a wonderful blend of traditional Buddhist teachings and contemporary social concerns. They also vow to practice 60 days of mindfulness each year. Bethany will celebrate 10 years in the Order this April, and David next April. Bethany founded the Heartland Community of Mindful Living in 1997.
We will begin with a short period of sitting meditation, a reading from the book Interbeing: Fourteen Guidelines for Engaged Buddhism
We will meet from 11:00 am to 12 noon every other Sunday beginning February 28th. Please email us and we will send you directions to our home. We welcome anyone practicing with the Heartland Community of Mindful Living to attend.
