Mindfulness Across Buddhist Traditions
Shedding light on a practice prone to oversimplification
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.
