"The Issue At Hand: Essays on Buddhist Mindfulness Practice"

ONLINE BOOK STUDY & DISCUSSION: The Shingyo Sangha invites you to join our ongoing book study, where we explore Gil Fronsdal's inspiring and very accessible compilation of essays and edited talks on the Buddhist practice of mindfulness. As Gil Fronsdal states, "the search for the issue at hand is the search for what is closest at hand, for what is directly seen, heard, smelt, tasted, felt, and cognized in the present." Gil brings the practice of mindfulness not only to formal meditation but to all the varying aspects of every day life.

Please feel free to drop into this book series at any time, where we contemplate sections every week and share our insights. There is no need to buy the book; we have a wonderful reader that will read parts of the text, with frequent stops for group reflection.

The Shingyo Sangha is a circle of friends coming together to learn from Buddhist teachings and to find out what we can extract in order to benefit us on the path. We call our approach "Applied Buddhism": Buddhism without the dogma, rituals and metaphysical interpretations. Shingyo is based on the Heart Sutra (http://plumvillage.org/news/thich-nhat-hanh-new-heart-sutra-translation/) and asks the question, "How can we practice the teachings of the Buddha in our day-to-day lives?"
