The Five Mindfulness Trainings

The Five Mindfulness Trainings (5MTs) are the foundation of our meditation practice. As people seeking to build a community and society founded on joy, loving-kindness, compassion, and peace, we aspire to practice them every week, every day, every moment. If you are not familiar with these trainings, take time to read this document. We’ve included the original version of the Trainings as well as how we practice them specifically at Mariposa. These trainings are not a destination to get to, but a map for navigating the terrain of daily life together. They are lamps lighting our path.
