Centuries-old Buddhist monastic guidelines of conduct, updated for the twenty-first century--available for the first time to the general public. Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh has developed a modernized version of the guidelines that make up the daily lives of Buddhist monks and nuns. These rituals are a path to transformation and liberation and nourish the practice of all practitioners by allowing insight into the monastic code of conduct and lifestyle. Just as the original precepts were developed from actual situations the Buddha encountered with his disciples, the guidelines in Freedom Wherever You Go come directly from real occurrences in present day monastic communities. This book can inspire everyone to discover and learn from the integrity, simplicity, beauty, and freedom of monastic life.
