The Satipattana Sutra
This lecture explores the Satipatthana Sutta, which addresses establishing the heart in an open awareness. We look at how the four components are cultivated so they become central to how we conduct ourselves moment to moment. This develops trust in the Buddha’s assurance that this is “the sole way” for attaining liberation.
