The Buddha taught Satipaṭṭhāna, the Four Establishments of Mindfulness, as the “direct path to realization.” This teaching invites us to apply careful attention to what is always present: our body, feeling tones, mind, and mind-objects. Through strengthening our mindfulness (sati) we can experience presently arisen states without being pulled into desire and aversion. This provides a foundation of clarity and peace, even in the midst of challenging conditions.

Please join the worldwide BGR community on Sunday, February 8, from 12 noon to 2 p.m. Eastern (9 to 11 a.m. Pacific), for the final session in BGR’s Satipatthana in Practice series: Mindfulness of Dhammas. Led by Thai Forest monastics and BGR Sangha Council members Ajahn Kovilo and Ajahn Nisabho, the practice session will explore how we can use the fourth Foundation of Mindfulness, variously translated as “mind objects” or “dhamma categories,” to cultivate beautiful qualities of mind and heart, in both formal meditation and daily life.

Offered over Zoom, this half-day of practice concludes our three-part series dedicated to different establishments of mindfulness, led by members of BGR’s Sangha Council of monastic advisers. Recordings of the previous events, exploring the Establishments of Mindfulness of the Body and Mindfulness of Feeling and Mind, may be viewed on our website.

We look forward to practicing with you.
