About the Mindfulness Bell Magazine About the Community of Mindful Living Mindfulness Retreats Sangha Directories Please Stay in Touch

The Mindfulness Bell is a journal of the art of mindful living. To be mindful means to dwell deeply in the present moment, to be aware of what is going on within and around us. Practicing mindfulness cultivates understanding, love, compassion, and joy. This practice helps us to take care of and transform suffering in our lives and in our society.

The Mindfulness Bell is an inspiration and teaching resource for those practicing mindfulness in daily life. Each issue features a recent teaching by our teacher, Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.

Also included are stories and teachings by teachers and students in this lineage, based on the author’s direct experience of transformation through the practice of mindfulness. Instead of giving academic or intellectual views, the teachings emphasize simple and successful ways to transform the difficulties and limitations in our lives so that each day becomes an experience of peace, happiness, and freedom....continued

Dear Friends, 

The Winter/Spring 2010 issue of the Mindfulness Bell has manifested beautifully, with profound and beautiful Dharma teachings from Thay, our monastic brothers and sisters, and lay practitioners. Special highlights from this issue can be viewed here on the website. Here are links to the table of contents and a wonderful article, “The Miracle of Sangha,” written by our monastic brothers and sisters about the 2009 Colorado retreat. The article includes a call for submissions for One Buddha Is Not Enough, a book that is being compiled about the retreat.
