A deep dive into one of the most essential Buddhist texts on mindfulness—The Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, often referred to as The Direct Path to Realization.

This episode's guest hosts explore its foundational teachings as presented in Venerable Anālayo’s book, offering a clear, contemporary lens through which mindfulness teachers and practitioners can engage with this timeless wisdom.

You will be guided through the Four Foundations of Mindfulness—contemplation of the body, feelings, mind, and dharmas—with a strong emphasis on direct experience over intellectual understanding.
