This series will expand on instructions offered in most basic mindfulness courses, offering new depths of understanding, as well as integrating the practice with life situations. We will consider the function of mindfulness training within the context of contemplative practices that have liberation as the aim. Mindfulness training is at the heart of Buddhist meditation. It plays an important role in the direct realization that frees the mind from suffering.This series is appropriate for new and seasoned practitioners. New comers may experience it as a practical introduction to mindfulness. More advanced practitioners will have the opportunity to refine their meditative skills.
