Following are 14 precepts based on and inspired by the   original Fourteen Precepts of the Order of Interbeing (Tiep Hien).  These original precepts were reincarnated as the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings at the Second General Assembly (or International Council) of the Order in 1996.  The entire original version can be found in the 1993 edition of the book "Interbeing" and the revised version can be found in the Plum Village Chanting and Recitation Book - both published by Parallax Press (see Links page for Parallax Press site).

This abridged version of the original Fourteen Precepts is provided to give readers the flavor of these guidelines for living mindfully and to provide a short version for experienced practitioners (who are familiar with the full length versions) to use for frequent recitation.
