5 Mindfulness Trainings Recitation in English, at Mountain Spring Monastery
We are not yet ready for the 5 Mindfulness Trainings Recitation, please refresh this page 10 minutes before the event starts.
You can join Br Phap Hai and the Compassionate Ocean Sangha in Sydney, Australia to recite the Five Mindfulness Trainings through this Zoom link
The Five Mindfulness Trainings have their root in the Five Precepts offered by the Buddha. They have been expanded and updated so that they represent a way to bring mindfulness into every area of life. Rather than hard and fast rules, they offer as a framework to reflect on our actions, speech and thinking so we can create more happiness for ourself and for the world around us.
The Five Mindfulness Trainings are one of the most concrete ways to practice mindfulness. They are nonsectarian, and their nature is universal. They are true practices of compassion and understanding. All spiritual traditions have their equivalent to the Five Mindfulness Trainings. The first training is to protect life, to decrease violence in oneself, in the family and in society. The second training is to practice social justice, generosity, not stealing and not exploiting other living beings. The third is the practice of responsible sexual behavior in order to protect individuals, couples, families and children. The fourth is the practice of deep listening and loving speech to restore communication and reconcile. The fifth is about mindful consumption, to help us not bring toxins and poisons into our body or mind.
The Five Mindfulness Trainings are based on the precepts developed during the time of the Buddha to be the foundation of practice for the entire lay practice community. I have translated these precepts for modern times, because mindfulness is at the foundation of each one of them. With mindfulness, we are aware of what is going on in our bodies, our feelings, our minds and the world, and we avoid doing harm to ourselves and others. Mindfulness protects us, our families and our society. When we are mindful, we can see that by refraining from doing one thing, we can prevent another thing from happening. We arrive at our own unique insight. It is not something imposed on us by an outside authority. Practicing the mindfulness trainings, therefore, helps us be more calm and concentrated, and brings more insight and enlightenment.

Recite the 14 Mindfulness Trainings with Deer Park Monastery in English, Vietnamese, at Deer Park Monastery
The Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings are a modern distillation of the traditional Bodhisattva precepts of Mahayana Buddhism, and were created by Thich Nhat Hanh in Saigon in 1966. You can recite these trainings with the Deer Park Monastery Sisters.
Monastics and lay friends who have made a vow in a formal ceremony, to receive, study and observe these fourteen trainings are known as “Members of the Order of Interbeing”. The Order of Interbeing, through the Plum Village lineage of Thich Nhat Hanh, belongs to the Linji (Rinzai) tradition of Zen Buddhism.
The Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings are the very essence of the Order of Interbeing. They are the torch lighting our path, the boat carrying us, the teacher guiding us. They allow us to touch the nature of interbeing in everything that is, and to see that our happiness is not separate from the happiness of others. Interbeing is not a theory; it is a reality that can be directly experienced by each of us at any moment in our daily lives. The Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings help us cultivate concentration and insight which free us from fear and the illusion of a separate self.

Hi, im interested in the five-years monastic Training. What i need to do to become a monk for five years? (Im from Mexico)
Dear Andres,
You can click on this link below to read more information about how to join the 5-year monastic training program. After that you can email the brothers to ask about when you can come. In the US, there is Deer Park Monastery or Blue Cliff Monastery where you can contact to ask about when you can come and start your training program. However, if you are interested in doing your training in Plum Village, France you can contact Upper Hamlet on uh-office@plumvillage.org. During this time of closure it might not be possible, but once we are open again and your aspiration remains intact, you can contact us again. Good luck!
https://plumvillage.org/about/five-year-monastic-training/
Dear Thay Dear Sangha, I’d like to know if it is possible to what the Dharma talks at some hour after they are held as I am in Colombia, many hours behind. Thank yoy dearly
If you are referring to the Dharma talks in our recent online retreat, then if you have registered for that retreat, yes you can watch them in your own time on Teachable with your log in details. If you are referring to previous talks or other talks on Sundays (outside of the retreat) then you can watch them at any time on our Youtube Plum Village online monastery channel. Hope you enjoy and benefit from them.
Dear Alejandro, please see our Youtube channel to watch talks after they have been broadcast live: https://www.youtube.com/plumvillage/videos
The recitation of the Five Mindfulness Trainings was wonderful and very helpful. If it would be possible to do this again, it would be helpful. Thank you
In reply to Kate,
It’s wonderful that you found the recitation of the Five Mindfulness Trainings helpful. Yes, it will be offered livestreamed once every month. Please continue to follow our “live” page for the next recitation ceremony.
Dear Kate,
Yes, we will have more live recitations of the Five Mindfulness Trainings. Please continue to follow our “Live” page for further updates.
Thank you for all your online support, but will the brothers from Upper Hamlet be streaming anymore meditations?
With Metta Paul 🙏
Dear Paul,
Thank you for following our online practice live events. Currently the brothers and sisters at Plum Village France are offering online retreats. Therefore our live practice events are limited and we rely on our brothers and sisters from other Plum Village centres world wide to offer live practice events. Hopefully some of these sessions suit your time zone and you can join them. Please continue to follow our Live events page for further updates about livestreaming from Upper Hamlet brothers. In the meantime, you are cordially invited to join and practice with us in our online weekend retreats.
I have not seen the recitation of the fourteen mindfulness training. Also, not seen Dharma by other Monks and Nuns. Used to upload Dharma on various topics, not anymore.. Only I see one Monk talking about the Buddha eight noble path. Following this one. Thanks, William
Dear William,
You can view all the previous Dharma talks given by other Dharma Teachers on our Youtube channel. We will have live recitation of the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings coming up, please continue to follow our “Live” page for updates.
