Why did the Buddha describe mindfulness as the direct path to overcome sorrow and lamentation, end suffering, discontent and realize the highest happiness?
This talk reminds us what mindfulness practice is, why it is so profound and describes attitudes that optimally support mindfulness practice.
Letting go of: All the wishing for more, for less, for anything else, the whining and defining, the needing and the resisting. Just this simple quiet opening. Aaahh!
The hindrances arise naturally within our practice. Developing mindfulness while the hindrances are present both brings in wisdom and transforms the underlying conditions.
The ongoing re-generation of the sense of self is reinforced by our tendency to proliferating thoughts. This tendency is explored through the Honeyball Sutta (Majjhima 18).
