Order of Interbeing

And there are three, uh, young men also.

I remember very well the day when I ordained them as the first six members of the, uh, of, uh, Order of Interbeing.

That's in nineteen sixty-four And the order of interbeing is born in a environment of, uh, utmost suffering, very hard.

And that is why the first precept is about non-attachment to view, openness, tolerance.

Because we see that attachment to views, narrowness, fanaticism is the ground of a lot of suffering.

It is the insight that liberate you and not a view.

This is very important in the teaching of the Buddha.

And that is why in the order of interbeing, we begin with the mind precept, mind, mindfulness trainings, openness, non-attachment to views, rejecting all kind of ideologies and doctrines, including Buddhist ideologies and doctrines.

You don't need to tell, tell that you should not kill.

Those of us who practice in the Order of Interbeing, we know that the first, uh, precepts are the precepts of the mind, the precepts of the mind.

„Tam Giới" We know that, uh, there are, uh, three series of precepts, mindfulness trainings.

There's precepts concerning the mouth.

But the body is not the root.

The mind is the root.

That is why in the Order of Interbeing, we begin by the precept of the heart, of the mind.

Because these are three aspects of action, karma.

This is a Buddhist inspired approach to re-imagining what we think and how we practice recovery and support using mindfulness.

The Sathya Seva mindfulness practices are inspired by the work of Thich Nhat Hanh and the Order of Interbeing, which is 14 mindfulness trainings as part of something he created called socially engaged Buddhism, the motivation of which was to reduce violence in our actions, thoughts, and communication.

I have rewritten those trainings and created two new ones to take the same general idea and put them into the specific contexts of recovery and support and understanding of habit energy and how it arises in one's life.

The book we use is this, Sate Seva, Reimagining Recovery and Support, and it is a dense, wonderfully wandering book.
