Intended to serve as a lifelong companion for anyone committed to mindful living and the realization of inner freedom, Mindfulness draws on Goldstein’s four-decade study of the Satipatthana Sutta—the Buddha’s original discourse on the practice of mindfulness meditation.
The mind contains the seeds of its own awakening—seeds that we can cultivate to bring forth the fruits of a life lived consciously. With Mindfulness, Joseph Goldstein shares the wisdom of his four decades of teaching and practice in a book that will serve as a lifelong companion for anyone committed to mindful living and the realization of inner freedom. Goldstein’s source teaching is the Satipa??hana Sutta, the Buddha’s legendary discourse on the four foundations of mindfulness that became the basis for the many types of Vipassana (or insight meditation) found today. Exquisite in detail yet wholly accessible and relevant for the modern student, Mindfulness takes us through a profound study of:
• Mindfulness of body, including the breath, postures, activities, and physical characteristics
• Mindfulness of feelings—how the experience of our sense perceptions influences our inner and outer worlds
• Mindfulness of mind—learning to recognize skillful and unskillful states of mind and thought
• Mindfulness of dhammas (or categories of experience), including the Five Hindrances, the Six Sense Spheres, and the Seven Factors of Awakening
"There is a wealth of meaning and nuance in the experience of mindfulness that can enrich our lives in unimagined ways," writes Goldstein. In Mindfulness you have the tools to mine these riches for yourself.
