Meditation Series | Five Mindfulness Trainings

5 Mindfulness Trainings Practice + Tea & Community
Fourth Wednesday of Every Month

Join us for an evening of reflection, intention, and mindful living at a peaceful, local Buddhist temple.

This monthly gathering centers around the Five Mindfulness Trainings — a set of practical, compassionate guidelines that support us in living with greater awareness, integrity, and care for ourselves and others.

These trainings invite us to explore:

• Reverence for life – cultivating compassion and protecting all living beings
• True happiness – practicing generosity and ethical livelihood
• True love – fostering responsibility, respect, and care in relationships
• Loving speech & deep listening – communicating with compassion and understanding
• Nourishment & healing – consuming mindfully in ways that support well-being

The evening begins with a gentle sitting meditation to ground the body and mind. We then move into a guided reflection and practice of the Five Mindfulness Trainings, offering space to contemplate how these principles can be embodied in everyday life.

From there, we transition into a walking meditation, followed by a Dharma reading or wisdom discussion to deepen understanding.

We close with tea and community connection—a relaxed, welcoming space to reflect, share, or simply sit in presence together.

What to expect:

• Sitting meditation
• Guided Five Mindfulness Trainings practice
• Walking meditation
• Dharma /wisdom reading & open discussion
• Tea & community connection

This session is open to all — whether you are new to these teachings or looking to deepen your practice.

Come to reconnect with your values, your community, and a more mindful way of living.
