Mindful Diet Program

Our Mindful Diet Practice is aimed at cultivating and maintaining healthy and balanced dietary habits.  This practice is a part of our Skillful Living Teaching Series and our Skillful Living Lifestyle. Which is comprised of the 10 tenets of a wholesome spiritual life. The fifth tenet being 'Eat well' – to move towards a healthier and more balanced diet, embracing moderation while becoming aware of the spiritual and healing dimensions of food. I recommend moving towards a more plant-based whole-food diet focused on consuming ‘living foods’ (fresh, colorful, and vibrant fruits and vegetables). Our Mindful Diet practice is comprised of aspirations and mantras that serve as instruction and support for our mindful diet practice. They’re recited each morning, and when needed.   
Venerable Tenzin Tharpa is an American Buddhist monk in the Tibetan Tradition. He is well known for his pragmatic, no-nonsense views, his ability to clarify complex philosophical points for all audiences, and his familiarity with all traditions of Buddhist thought and non-Buddhist traditions as well.   
SBT, the Secular Buddhist Tradition, is an international online Sangha established by Venerable Tenzin Tharpa as a spiritual community for like-minded friends. Friends dedicated to the study and practice of the timeless wisdom of the Buddha. A community committed to goodness and improvement, embracing skillful living and a holistic spiritual lifestyle. In our teachings, we present the Buddha’s dharma as neither a religion nor an exotic belief system. We share a practical presentation focused on the positive life-affirming message of the Buddha, while emphasizing those concepts that we deem most illuminating, plausible, and potentially fruitful. Our aim is to inform and guide without sharing presumptions regarding what to believe.   For free Buddhist study material and to learn more about SBT visit our website at: http://SBTonline.org #buddhism #secularbuddhism #meditation #tibetanbuddhism #sbt
