Determination (Adhitthana Parami)

This 20-minute guided practice includes mindfulness of breath in the body and contemplation on the quality of determination or resolve. Determination (Adhitthana Parami) is listed eighth of ten 'perfections' of character that is developed on the Buddhist path of awakening. It is steadfastness that is the foundation for the other nine qualities.
For the 100 Days of Care program, we follow the example of Thanissaro Bhikkhu in organizing the perfections beginning with Determination.
