ORIGINAL INSTRUCTION FOR MINDFULNESS MEDITATION
Interested in mindfulness meditation? If you want your mindfulness meditation practice to progress it is beneficial to have an understanding of the root text that all mindfulness meditation techniques have come from.
All Mindfulness Meditation practices today find their roots in a discourse given by the Buddha called the Satipatthana Sutta (MN 10). This key text contains the original instructions on how to practice Satipatthana Vipassana Bhavana more commonly known as Insight /Mindfulness Meditation.
To make this discourse easier to read I have broken it into sections called “Sutta training....” in order to dissect the individual training found within the Satipatthana Sutta. What is interesting about approaching the texts in this way is that the original meditation manual and the Buddha as a teacher become very apparent.
