|  | | Product Description | | In the words of the Buddha, the four foundations of mindfulness (the four
satipatthanas) are “the direct path for the purification of beings, for the surmounting
of sorrow and lamentation, for the disappearance of dukkha (suffering) and discontent,
for acquiring the true method, for the realization of Nibbana.” Within the quintessential
discourse called the Satipatthana Sutta, we find the Buddha’s seminal teachings about
the practice of meditation. On Abiding in Mindfulness, Volume I: The Body, esteemed
teacher and author Joseph Goldstein presents a 7-CD audio curriculum to reveal the deeper
insights of this vital sutta—and how it serves to inform and guide your own daily practice.
The Declaration of the Direct Path to Realization
Goldstein sets the stage for your journey through the sutta by clarifying the Buddha’s
initial declaration of the “direct path” to awakening that is its promise. Through the
wisdom of Buddhist masters of ancient and modern times and the expertise of his own
40-year study and practice, he shares the subtle nuances of each key term derived from
the original Pali. Where do you find the ardency to sustain and balance your efforts
along the path? How do you cultivate the breadth of mindfulness that makes any
spiritual undertaking possible? What strengthens your perception of impermanence—
both internally and externally? With Goldstein’s lucid instruction, you will discover a
wellspring of profound revelations to revitalize and mature your practice, and help you
bring forth its fruits in every area of your life.
The First Foundation of Mindfulness: Mindfulness of Body
On Abiding in Mindfulness, Volume I: The Body, Goldstein introduces you to the first
satipatthana, the domain of the body. Here, you will learn the cornerstone techniques
for successful meditation practice, as taught by the Buddha himself. From appropriate
places and postures for practice to clear comprehension of all aspects of the body to
the elements and energies that make up our physical form, Goldstein brings you to the
threshold of the “ultimate truth” of our bodies. Includes 36-page study guide.
The author’s proceeds from this program will benefit the Insight Meditation Society’s Forest Refuge
