A deep dive into one of the most essential Buddhist texts on mindfulness—The Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, often referred to as The Direct Path to Realization. 

This episode's guest hosts explore its foundational teachings as presented in Venerable Anālayo’s book, offering a clear, contemporary lens through which mindfulness teachers and practitioners can engage with this timeless wisdom.

You will be guided through the Four Foundations of Mindfulness—contemplation of the body, feelings, mind, and dharmas—with a strong emphasis on direct experience over intellectual understanding. 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔ A clear breakdown of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness

✔ The role of diligence, clear knowing (sampajañña), and mindfulness (sati)

✔ How these teachings support inner stability and confidence in guiding others

✔ Why direct experience, not theory, is the foundation of authentic mindfulness teaching
