Satiptthana Sutta
The Establishments of Mindfulness

In 2021 I offered a series of talks and practices based on one of the most popular and powerful teachings of the Buddha - the Four Establishments of Mindfulness. These Guided Meditations, Dharma Talks and poetic reflections are available to support your practice.

The course works through the whole sutta, paragraph by paragragh and practice by practice. It was was taught to a live group on Zoom in 2021. The discussions have been removed but th

You’re welcome to start at the top and work your way down, or simply listen to the introduction and then choose whatever calls to you. The sessions were held on Zoom starting with a meditation followed by a Dharma Talk then a group sharing (not recorded).

Read the full text of Discourse here (translated by Thich Nhat Hanh), here (translated by Bhikkhu Analayo, p. 3 of pdf) or here (translated by Bhikkhu Sujato).

This course is offered freely. Donations allow me to continue sharing the Dharma and are my main source of income.
