The Five Mindfulness Trainings -- to not kill, steal, commit adultery, lie, or take intoxicants -- are the basic statement of ethics and morality in Buddhism. In this fully revised edition, Zen master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh argues eloquently for their universal applicability in daily situations.
