In simple and straightforward language, Bhante Gunaratana shares the
Buddha's teachings on mindfulness and how we can use these principles to
improve our daily lives, deepen our mindfulness, and move closer to our
spiritual goals. Based on the classic Satipatthana Sutta, one of the
most succinct yet rich explanations of meditation, Bhante's presentation
is nonetheless thoroughly modern. The Satipatthana Sutta has become the
basis of all mindfulness meditation, and Bhante unveils it to the
listener in his trademark "plain English" style. Contemplating the Four
Foundations of Mindfulness - mindfulness of the body, of feelings, of
the mind, and of phenomena themselves - is recommended for all
practitioners. Newcomers will find The Four Foundations of Mindfulness
in Plain English lays a strong groundwork for mindfulness practice and
gives them all they need to get started right away, and old hands will
find rich subtleties and insights to help consolidate and clarify what
they may have begun to see for themselves. People at every state of the
spiritual path will benefit from listening to this book.
