Satipatthana Sutta, First Foundation: Loving the Whole Body
2010-06-08 Satipatthana Sutta, First Foundation: Loving the Whole Body 58:27
Rodney Smith
We start with an aversive or attractive response to the body or body part, and quickly an emotional attitude arises that fixates upon the appearance; a story is formed, an opinion is held, and our body is made into something it never was. To love the whole of the body requires an intentional reversal of stepping out of those perceptual fixations and embracing the pleasant and unpleasant components in totality.
