Mindfulness Meditation Made Easy - Audio
by Venerable Dr. Khammai Dhammasami
Mindfulness practice is indeed a complicated
and unattractive one for many people because
in its principles it involves a
comprehensive study of oneself and
self-dependency. It calls for many factors
to be made balanced. This goes straightaway
into conflict with our dominant desire that
looks for a quick fix.
Mindfulness practice rules out a manta-style
approach in life. No miracle or any
superstitious belief. Simply, it is a
self-cultured programme. The practice
requires us to put in our own efforts and
discover the truth through our own
experience. The teacher is only to guide but
not to see the truth for us.
I started reading the Satipatthana-sutta,
the main discourse on mindfulness
meditation, since my late teens. However,
there was little I could relate to people
through my reading of this sutta until six
or seven years later as I understood very
little of it at that time. The words and
phrases look so simple that they become too
hard for me to grasp what they mean. It is a
discourse and a practice I do not take it
for granted up to this day. The discourse
requires some practice to see its points.
Reflecting on the difficulty I have with the
sutta and the practice, I wish to make it
accessible to many who otherwise would feel
put off due to inability to comprehend this
particular discourse. I have tried my best
to present it in an easily comprehensible
manner.
