Reconsidering Mindfulness IV
Release Date:
February/March 2012 | Cerro Gordo Temple | Santa Fe, NM
The way we seem to be assimilating Buddhist teachings in the West is as mindfulness, which has many helpful applications. It also has some pitfalls, which become clear when we consider mindfulness in its traditional context. These talks explore mindfulness not so much as a miner's lamp practice of attention but as heart-mindfulness,
with its sense of open and loving attention, focus on unselfing, appreciation for what we can't make conscious, and constant recollection of the vastness of the present moment.
subjects : mindfulness, unselfing, heart-mind, private buddha,Yehuda Amichai, Simone Weil
