It is possible to receive all Five Mindfulness Trainings, or only a subset (for example, the 4th and 5th training). It is also possible to renew one’s transmission if one has not been reciting or practicing the trainings for an extended period. Please let us know below which training you are receiving for the first time at this transmission, which trainings you would like to add to the trainings you have already received, and whether you would like to renew your trainings at this transmission:

When you receive the mindfulness trainings from a Dharma teacher ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh, you become a member of the 10th generation of Dharma practitioners in the Lieu Quan (Vietnamese Zen) Dharma tradition and a member of the 44th generation of Dharma practitioners in the Lin Chi (Rinzai) Dharma tradition. If you would like, you may receive a lineage name to encourage you in your practice and to recognize your place in these spiritual lineages.

If you wish to receive a lineage name, please write below few paragraphs concerning your aspirations as a practitioner: How do you intend to bring the practice of mindfulness into your life? (If you prefer, you can also send your aspirations in an email to Mitchell@StillWaterMPC.org.)

Also, if you already have received a Five Mindfulness Trainings name in the Plum Village tradition, please let us know the name you received.

Comments, questions, and special needs:
