Buddha Dharma Part Seven - Four Foundations Of Mindfulness

The four foundation practices of mindfulness are awareness of our bodies, of our feelings, our mental states and objects of the mind. The purpose of these practices is to get to know ourselves better. It will help us understand what is working for us and what isn’t. This will allow us to change more effectively and positively.

Reviews

Many a mindfulness meditation is momentary, bringing short awareness, release and relief. Your AWARE practice may help to create a more permanent state of being aware of all that we think, feel and do. Thank you for the challenging and interesting reflections. Namaste 🤓🙏🏻

I’m enjoying exploring Buddhism through this series of talks

I was quite pleased with the way the modern definition of mindfulness was challenged. I have struggled with the whole non-judgement aspect, as to me, it goes against how we are as humans. I have never seen the point of doing a body scan where you find a part of your body that is painful and then don’t think about what might have caused that pain and judging how you might manage it.

Thanks once again for this great series of talks 🙏

What an eye opener talk - thank you! As a MBSR teacher I fully agree that the secular mindfulness based programmes are only the gateway towards actual practicing the Path. Along the programmes teachers also teach and practice and embody kindness - ethics and do talks around wisdom, but clearly I believe that the secular programmes can learn more from the wholesome Buddhist philosophy. Thank you for the talk. I now know what to change in my programme :)

Thanks. Very informative and no whinging that i can hear !!
