Nashville Mindfulness Center
 
 
The Nashville Mindfulness Center is dedicated to the practice of mindful meditation in the tradition of Zen master and Nobel Peace prize nominee Thích Nhat Hạnh. Our practice at the NMC is one of touching the wondrous, refreshing, and healing elements inside us and around us, and nourishing the seeds of joy, peace, love, and understanding in ourselves, thus facilitating the work of transformation and healing in our consciousness. Through the teachings of the Buddha’s realization of enlightenment, we cultivate compassion, insight, and awareness, but we do not worship him as a deity. We find inspiration from the texts of other spiritual traditions as well, and respect the right of others to choose what to believe, and how to decide. Many of our members practice Christianity and Judaism. We are aware that life is available only in the present moment and that it is possible to live happily in the here and now. We smile often! A meditation practice center since 2003, the Nashville Mindfulness Center was officially established as a mindfulness center in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh in March of 2006, founded and coordinated by Tiep Hien (Order of Interbeing) member Skip Ewing. Skip was ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh in June of 2006. Periodic half-day, full-day, and weekend retreats. The Nashville Mindfulness Center (NMC) 7618 Buffalo Rd.

“The secret of Buddhism is to be awake here and now. There is no way to peace; peace is the way.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
