THE BUDDHIST MIND • CULTIVATING THE FOUR FOUNDATIONS OF MINDFULNESS


THE BUDDHIST MIND

Cultivating The Four Foundations of Mindfulness (satipatthānas)

An Intensive with Whit Hornsberger (4 x 2.25 hour workshops) 

The transformative teachings of the Buddha are becoming increasingly popularized by the rapidly growing interest in mindfulness and the practice of vipassana, or insight meditation.

The practice of insight (vipassana) meditation is built upon the teachings of the Buddhist discourse, the Satipatthāna Sutta or The Discourse on the Foundations of Mindfulness. Colloquially referred to as The Four Foundations of Mindfulness, these teachings form the bedrock of mindfulness meditation practice and are considered the domain of the meditator. Once established through ardent application, The Four Foundations of Mindfulness give rise to transformative experiential insights into ultimate reality, liberating the individual from the bondage of physical and mental suffering. 

Our two weekends of study and practice will encompass discussion on Buddhist theory, exploring and integrating in detail via practice The Four Foundations of Mindfulness and vipassana meditation. Each session includes a Dhamma talk / discourse and experiential application of one of the four foundations of mindfulness, building systematically and progressively throughout the intensive. Through direct felt experience each practitioner will bare witness to insight (vipassana) capable of radically shifting how one engages with the mind, body and life itself.  

These workshops are created for and are accessible to all levels of practitioners and geared specifically to anyone driven by an innate curiosity for insight into the enigma of life and a passion to move beyond the limitations of the conditioned mind. 

Each session includes a Dhamma (philosophy) talk and meditation practice.
