Summary

A Classical Training Program in Mindfulness Meditation

The profound techniques of Vipassana (or insight meditation) are all rooted in the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha's practice-oriented teaching on the four foundations of mindfulness. With Mindfulness, Joseph Goldstein brings you a series of core teachings and guided practices for "looking directly at the nature of the mind and body, at how suffering is created, and how we can awaken and be free."

Designed to complement his book of the same title, as a stand-alone tool for daily practice, or for anyone wanting to go deeper in their experience of mindfulness, these profound meditations include:

  • Mindfulness of the Elements—a practice for relating to your body not through concepts but as a constantly changing energy field
  • Mindfulness of Feelings—discover how the experience of our sense perceptions conditions our reactions in the mind and our actions in the world
  • Mindfulness of Mind—how we recognize skillful and unskillful states of mind and thought
  • Big Sky Mind—an expansive practice for resting in a mind that is spacious enough to hold all of our experience in the light of pure awareness

"The term 'mindfulness' may seem to indicate something quite ordinary and prosaic," explains Goldstein, "but the quality of mind it refers to has tremendous transformative power in our lives." With Mindfulness, now you have a set of time-tested tools for opening to the ultimate goal of practice: liberation.

Indispensable

Joseph Goldstein's meditations build expertly upon one another, creating a complete course in mindfulness. Strongly recommended for beginners, or as a companion to his excellent series on the Sattipathana Sutta. A series to be practiced again and again.

Joseph is one of the Great Teachers

You can see where Sam Harris drew a lot of his inspiration. His amazing teacher and friend Joseph Goldstein. He knows just the right words to say to say, being able to point at the emptiness of mind. I can’t claim to have attained this of non dual state of mind but Joseph has helped me seen glimpses of it.

Quality

Well delivered, well paced. Well recorded. Quality.

In particular I'm loving the 6th practice of big sky mind - no boundaries, just sounds, sensations, thoughts and images coming and going in spaciousness. :-)

Simply the best

The best practice I have ever done! But it is also funny to be dualistic about a mindfulness practice;-)

brilliant, concise, essential guide

thank you Joseph Goldstein for producing the best guide to Vipassana meditation that I have encountered. Combined with the series of dharma talks this practice serves anyone who is unable to get to a teacher or significant retreat.
