Four Foundations: Prelude

Date: 2023-05-19 Friday

For the next weeks, perhaps five, we’re going to exploring the four foundations of mindfulness. This is the Buddha’s core teaching on our practice of mindfulness, in the Satipatthana Sutta, #10 in the Middle Length Discourses (Majhima Nikaya.)  This is such an important teaching to return to again and again, because it clarifies the very areas where we tend to be confused about the  practice.

The journey of understanding what the Buddha is explaining to us, parallels our very journey of awakening.
