A Few Words About Silence
In an excerpt from his forthcoming book, IMS teacher Larry Rosenberg expounds on how to bring more stillness into our everyday lives.
Mindfulness
Buddhist mindfulness meditation (Pali, sati; Sanskrit, smiriti) is the practice of focusing the mind on a particular object, usually the breath, with clarity and equanimity. While mindfulness of the breath (anapanasati) is popular, mindfulness can also apply to living ethically, remembering the qualities, values, and actions that will lead to the cessation of suffering. You can practice mindfulness on the cushion, in formal meditation, or throughout the day.
