RESOURCES
Over the last five decades, Mindfulness has become somewhat misunderstood. The American focus on “self-improvement” has obscured its original purpose to “awaken” us to our natural awareness and support enlightenment. The second part of Track 2 focuses on the original Satipaṭṭhāna sutta as translated by Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh and dharma teacher Joseph Goldstein.
