The Four Foundations of Mindfulness: A Study, Discussion and Practice Retreat

n the Satipatthana Sutta the Buddha describes a direct path to liberation by meditating on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. Through 2,500 years this teaching has been become the central path of meditation to dispel deeply held confusion and habits of craving leading to suffering. With the development of mindfulness within the four foundations (body, pleasure/pain, mind states, and mental processes) the practitioner has the direct experience of impermanence, unsatisfactoriness and non-self. From this, wrong views drop away and with this, unqualified peace and contentment arise.
