CULTIVATING SATI (Remembering/Mindfulness/Recollecting/Focusing/Awareness)
presented by Jayanta (Shirley Johannesen)
April 16, 2026

In our world today there are many interpretations of the word "mindfulness". It's important to investigate the usage and significance of such a word. I will approach it here as a part of the Buddhist Dhamma, and how the word is used today to help guide us on a spiritual path.
