A fascinating resource for Buddhist practitioners and non-Buddhists alike, «Freedom Wherever We Go takes the centuries-old Buddhist monastic guidelines of conduct and updates them for the twenty-first century. This is the first time in Thich Nhat Hanh's Vietnamese tradition that this text is made available to the general public. It will nourish the practice of all practitioners by allowing insight and understanding into the monastic codes of conduct as well as the monastic lifestyle. Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh has developed a modernized version of the guidelines and rituals that make up the daily life of a fully ordained Buddhist monk or nun. They organize the life of the monastic community in such a way that enables each member to realize transformation and liberation. Just as the original precepts were developed from actual situations the Buddha encountered with his disciples, the guidelines in this book come directly from real occurrences in present day monastic communities.

Quotes

  • fdiahhas quoted3 years ago
    When we practice the content, the essence of the precepts, we receive the benefit of peace, clarity, and freedom right away.
  • fdiahhas quoted3 years ago
    If we keep the precepts but are caught in their outer form and do not understand their deeper meaning, our practice cannot lead to liberation, purity, peace, and joy.
  • fdiahhas quoted3 years ago
    We tend to get caught in superstitious beliefs that do not bring us understanding and transformation.
