Description

Buddhist meditator and scholar Bhikkhu Anālayo explores the Buddhist background to mindfulness practice, from its origins in mindful eating to its formal cultivation as satipaṭṭhāna. This accessible guide provides a clear understanding of the development of mindfulness in Buddhism and offers practical exercises on how to develop it. Anālayo examines the orally transmitted early teachings that provide a range of perspectives on mindfulness, drawing out its role in the path to 'awakening' - an understanding of reality as it is. He shows how mindfulness can help recognize the influence of greed, anger and delusion, and how to emerge from these to progress on the path to liberation. By practicing mindfulness, you can foster a gradual freeing of the mind from these influences and gain a clear vision of reality, enabling you to be more fully in touch with what is taking place and remain in the present.
