A new, secular explanation of the Buddha's teachings on mindfulness.The Satipatthana Sutta - the 2,500-year-old teachings of the Buddha himself - is the original 'DIY manual' on howto meditate and be mindful. Just a few pages long, with 13 recommended practices, it provides the authority for theworldwide practice of mindfulness. However, this influential text has been neglected of late - not least because thecommon translation, in Victorian English, is virtually indecipherable. So, modern mindfulness students - focusedinstead on the Zen practice of 'just sitting' - risk missing the benefits of the Buddha's more sophisticated approach.In 1975, Eric Harrison retranslated the Satipatthana Sutta and made it the basis of his teaching career. Now, withhis new translation and commentary - informed by a lifelong consideration of the Buddha's original teachings - hemakes mindfulness more accessible than ever, particularly to those not coming to it by way of Buddhism or prior meditation practice.
Eric Harrison was born in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1949. He graduated from Victoria University with a BA in English literature and music, and started his working life as a schoolteacher and journalist. Between 1974 and 1985 he spent a total of 18 months doing retreats in the Burmese, Tibetan, Zen, and yoga traditions. While he appreciated the opportunities to do long retreats, he found he had no appetite for Buddhism itself. When Eric opened the Perth Meditation Centre in 1987, he chose to use secular, rational, and science-based language to explain meditation. He later supplemented his knowledge with five years' study in biology, cognitive science, and Western philosophy. This approach made his work acceptable to the many doctors and psychologists who referred clients to him, and to corporations that have employed him since. He has now taught 30,000 people how to meditate, and his previous six books, including Teach Yourself to Meditate and The 5-Minute Meditator, have been translated into 14 languages.
