According to the Buddha, there are four kinds of nutriments: edible food, sensory impressions, volition, and consciousness. The Fifth Mindfulness Training addresses consumption and preserving peace, joy and well-being through mindful consumption. I invite the sangha to consider how we may eat in a way that we try not to cover up loneliness, anxiety, or other suffering by losing ourselves in consumption. Steve will lead walking meditation.
