Mindful Buddhist Eating for Compassion

This compact guide offers wisdom from the Buddhist tradition on how eating mindfully can nourish the mind as well as the body. It shows that every aspect of our daily activities, including food preparation, consumption, and clean-up, can be a part of our spiritual practice if done with compassion. The author, Thubten Chodron, shares traditional Buddhist teachings and practices used at the Abbey, along with advice for incorporating these principles into our own homes. By eating consciously and mindfully, and incorporating certain rituals, we can become less obsessive about food and enjoy our meals more fully. The book is written in English and has 160 pages.
