The 4 Applications of Mindfulness w/ Doug Veenhof
Details
Among the world’s philosophies and religions, the Buddha’s great innovation was the development of a system of practice that investigates our conceptual wisdom with the empirical method of single-pointed meditative focus.
Calling it “the direct path” to liberation, he taught a comprehensive methodology to probe four misunderstandings that are the root of all human problems. This is the fusion of Shamatha and Vipashyana.
