Sunday,18th October, 8pm AEDST
The 5 Mindfulness Trainings Recitation

You are welcome to join Tony and Ana-Maria, for the recitation of the 5 Mindfulness Trainings.

​

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 us a path to cultivate and develop actions of body, speech and mind that can create a more healthy and compassionate world.

​

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.

​

Practicing the mindfulness trainings, therefore, helps us be more calm and concentrated, and brings more insight and enlightenment.

Our theme for October 2026 is:
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore

Understanding the Sutra: Verse 8
Whoever can see this
No longer needs anything to attain.

​

Understanding the Sutra: Verse 9:
Bodhisattvas who practice
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
See no more obstacles in their mind,
and because there are no more obstacles in their mind
They can overcome all fear
Destroy all wrong perceptions
And realize Perfect Nirvana.
