Interbeing

The 14 Mindfulness Trainings of Engaged Buddhism

Authors: Thích Nhất Hạnh

Published: May 5, 2020

If you want to live life as an active agent for change: begin here. Originally formulated by Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh during the war in Vietnam, Interbeing is a call to collective awakening and a guidebook for getting there.

The Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings are a radical expression of Buddhist ethics and morality that offer essential insights for existing mindfully, and not burning out. This fourth edition introduces the most up-to-date revision of the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings, with fresh commentary on living in contemporary society.

Extra depth is added to this 4th edition of Interbeing with a new foreword by Sister Chân Không, one of the first six people to be ordained as a monastic by Thích Nhất Hạnh, who opens a vivid personal window into the history and lineage of these trainings.
