Mindfulness meditation | EN | Bhante Sujato

Mindfulness is not really meditation, but can be used as a type of meditation where we simply are aware of what is happening in your body and mind.

You start to notice what is happening: thoughts, feelings, sensations, memories, ideas, desires – and spaces between them. The aim to get a place where we are resonable equanimous, as a preperation for other types of meditation.

Just remember that ethical behavior is the fundation of any meditation, just being a good person.

This teaching was given during a retreat at Venabu in October 2024.

    From the opposite side of the planet, the retreat's instructor Bhante Sujato came by plane to Oslo, and he was transported straight to the mountains to rest and overcome jet lag, before the retreat at Venabu started.
