Transmission of the 5 Mindfulness Trainings and 14 Mindfulness Trainings of the Order of Interbeing

Fred guides FCM's annual ceremony where he transmits the Five Mindfulness Trainings and the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings of the Order of Interbeing. He begins with a very meaningful talk, particularly in these times of great anger, hatred and violence. He explains that Buddhism is not primarily a ritualistic religion but a practical path aimed at awakening, freedom, and the transformation of both individuals and society. The Five Mindfulness Trainings are presented as ethical commitments that encourage nonviolence, truthful speech, respect for others, and mindful consumption. Rather than rigid rules, these trainings are ongoing practices that invite reflection and help practitioners cultivate compassion, integrity, and awareness in everyday life. The ceremony also includes the recitation of the Three Refuges—taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha—as an expression of trust in the path of awakening and the support of spiritual community. Fred then introduces the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings of the Order of Interbeing, which deepen and expand the basic ethical commitments to address contemporary challenges such as attachment to views, freedom of thought, awareness of suffering, simplicity in living, skillful handling of anger, and responsibility in community and livelihood. His formal talk ends at approximately 26 minutes into the recording, followed by the Transmission Ceremony.
