Four Foundations: Mind Qualities
Date: 2023-07-20 Thursday
For this session we’ll be exploring the third foundation of mindfulness, qualities of mind. One of the most elusive areas of our reality is the ever-changing aspect of our qualities of mind, whether grasping, aversive, restless, concentrated or other. In our mindfulness practice learning to apply mindfulness to these mind states is a great boon, lest they operate below the radar, influencing everything we think and do.
The four foundation of mindfulness are the Buddha’s core teaching on our practice of mindfulness, in the Satipatthana Sutta, #10 in the Middle Length Discourses (Majjhima Nikaya.) This sutta is an ever-revealing source of understanding, as we gradually deepen our mindfulness of all phenomena, and gain insight from that.
