Summary of Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu's From Mindfulness to Heartfulness

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The sky is the limit for beginner’s mind. It is not held back by others’ perceptions of who you are or what you can or can’t do. You are free to explore and learn.

#2 American society regards being mindful as weird and even laughable, while rushing around busily with a mind full of thoughts is considered normal. People find it strange that I revel in the beauty of whatever is transpiring in the moment.

#3 Remembering Ricardo’s story, I realized the importance of being present and attentive in every moment. I began to instill this lesson in my medical students, and it was as effective with them as it was with fourth graders.

#4 The practice of speaking a foreign language to students is a way to induce vulnerability, which is a key to education. Vulnerability means appreciating mystery as much as mastery, and it allows us to balance a sense of competence with humility.
