The Mindfulness Bell
In the Current Issue
AUTUMN 2019
Guest edited by UK Dharma teacher Teri West, this issue shares the fruits of our practice with several of the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings.
Bodhisattvas: In a Dharma talk, Thich Nhat Hanh tells us about practicing the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings and what it means to be an Order of Interbeing member.
Taking Care of Anger: Monastic Sister Chan Dieu Nghiem (Sister Jina) teaches about Right Diligence. A practitioner from Czech Republic recalls transforming fear along their path, and a practitioner with African and Indian heritage reflects on practicing nondiscrimination in the UK.
True Community and Communication: Monastic Sister Tam Muoi (Sister Samadhi) reflects on resolving difficulties with her family, and a US practitioner shares about the art of writing a love letter.
Right Livelihood: We learn from practitioners about working with asylum seekers near the Mexico border and engaging in the practice as an activist.
Inclusion: Practitioners from the United States and Canada reflect on openness, reverence for life, and generosity.
News and Updates
Global Sangha Directory
Thich Nhat Hanh has stated that "The next Buddha will be a Sangha." A sangha, or local community, is a group of mindfulness practitioners who gather to meditate and to support each other on the path. We offer this global Sangha directory with the hope that it will help you to connect with a local community and nourish your practice. If there are no local communities near you, there are resources for joining an online community or for helping you start a Sangha.
Featured Teachings
We are fortunate to have many practices and teachings made available to us from Thay and the fourfold Mahasangha. Here you'll find some featured books and online teachings from our beloved community.
