"The Application of Mindfulness" by Paul Harris

What constitutes a good Buddhist? Mindfulness is called ‘choice-less awareness’ which means acknowledging and accepting the parts of our personality we consider negative. This way we can see that all mental states have the nature to change and are not ‘me’ or ‘mine’. This talk gives an overview of the four applications of mindfulness and stresses the need for establishing the right context for our mindfulness practice and what it reveals – what in Buddhism is called ‘clear comprehension.’

Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity.            

This talk was given in May 2014.
