Description
Touching the Infinite: A New Perspective on the Buddha's Four Foundations of Mindfulness by Rodney Smith explores the fundamental teaching of mindfulness in Buddhism. This essential principle, shared across all Buddhist traditions, provides a path to true liberation through the application of mindfulness to four areas: body, feelings, mind, and dharmas. The Four Foundations of Mindfulness are defined in the Satipatthana Sutta and have been expounded upon since the time of the Buddha. In this book, Smith guides readers through these foundations to provide a solid understanding of the teaching. He challenges us to hold this teaching up against our own experience, revealing the inherent interconnection of all four foundations. By exploring the Four Foundations, practitioners can discover the true nature of things and find freedom in daily life. This book offers a sequential path that reveals the formless and brings about a profound shift in perception.
