So, chapters 3-5 have not been as rewarding as the first two, but I do have a few insight to share from Thich Nhat Hanh's book.
One observation on mindfulness in daily life, such as when you eat, led to a very profound discussion on the Lord's Supper. It was a reminder that it is not so much abut the way it is performed or even who performs it, but about our reflections and thoughts as a result of this event and it's elements.
It is an oportunity to see where we need to improve in our lives and how well we are living as we should.
A lot of time has been spent on our relationship with our fellow believers and how it is about being mindful of others rather than our own desires. This is certainly so many Churches could learn. If the individual is not living by the Holy Spirit to bring love, understanding and acceptance into their own lives, how can a body of believers work together to these ends as Christ did?
