Most
students of Buddhism know
that the practice of meditation
is not something which
is limited to the times each
day we spend in formal
seated meditation. But to
bring the mind of meditation
out of the meditation hall
and into our everyday world
of work and daily living
is not always an easy
thing to do. I would like
to share with you a method
for helping to do this. It
is a practice common to many
schools of Buddhism and is
known variously as “mindfulness
training”, “working
meditation”,
or “every-minute meditation”.
...from
Every-minute Meditation,
by Rev. Master Daizui MacPhillamy.
