Heart of Buddha Public Talk: The Four Mindfulnesses
Sat 4 Oct 2014 @ 10:00 am - 6:00 pm

Heart of Buddha talks are taught by Rigdzin Shikpo Rinpoche in Oxford and open to all. The title of the talk is “The Four Mindfulnesses: the Buddha’s words on mindfulness”. “Mindfulness means the encouraging and furthering of awareness and wakefulness in our meditation and everyday life. True mindfulness is always non-coercive and free from frenetic effort, a gentle approach which yields great fruit in understanding and in empathy with others. We learn to relate to our bodies, feelings, hearts and minds through direct experience, gradually reaching a panoramic viewpoint, a still centre, a point of balance in our livesâ€
