It is obvious from the response to Thich Nhat Hanh’s tour of North America this past Spring that we aren’t the only ones who care about breathing, smiling, and rebuilding society from the basement up. We’ve met so many “kindred spirits” wherever we’ve been—Texas, California, the Midwest, Washington, New York, Boston, Toronto, and Montreal. And we look forward to meeting many European brothers and sisters during Thay’s Fall retreats there, listed under “Announcements.”

In Berkeley, Parallax Press and the Community of Mindful Living have moved into a beautiful, former Nazarene church, recently made available to us by North Point Press. This building has much character and makes our activity much much easier and more delightful, although coordinating the move in addition to helping with the Summer Retreat at Plum Village has required some juggling. It has been possible largely because Karen Payne, a long-time Berkeley writer and editor, has done most of the work to put the Mindfulness Bell together. A healing environment thus established, we are happy to offer you this fifth issue of the Mindfulness Bell, on "Health and Healing." Your letters and articles continue to be the main component of this inter-Interbeing missive, so please don't forget to send us news, experiences, and reflections for Issue number 6, on "Practicing the Precepts." Thank you for all of your sincere practice and encouraging feedback.
