“Mindfulness” has become so widely used in Western culture that its meaning now seems to shape‑shift, depending on who is speaking and in what context. It can point to stress reduction, performance enhancement, spirituality, or simply taking a deep breath—often without much clarity.
This evening, we will return to an exploration of “Right” Mindfulness as it is understood in Buddhist practice, and distinguish it from the looser cultural meanings it has acquired. Together, we’ll explore questions such as:
What is “Right” mindfulness in the Buddha’s path?
Of what, exactly, are we invited to be mindful?
Why is mindfulness so central and transformative?
How does one “do” or “be” mindful in daily life?
What is the lived experience of mindfulness from the inside?
