Description

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.
