Joseph's brilliant, detailed, and patient discussion of each section of the sutta has brought greater understanding of the breadth and depth of the Buddha's teachings. These beautiful and inspiring talks can be appreciated and savored by listening to them again and again. Each time I listen, I hear and learn something new that directly influences both my meditation practice and its integration into every aspect of my life in the world. I highly recommend this series of talks for anyone who wishes to delve into the extraordinary richness of the dharma that is, like these talks, 'good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end.'\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"prod_para\" align=\"right\"\u003e —Claire Stanley \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sounds True","offers":[{"title":"CE Credits","offer_id":35715515842718,"sku":"CE01835","price":40.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0463\/1337\/3854\/products\/124_6c9ea0da-99f5-42a5-baf3-b753f9fef892.jpg?v=1597565554","url":"https:\/\/soundstruemhs-com.myshopify.com\/products\/abiding-in-mindfulness-volume-1-ce-credits","provider":"soundstruemhs.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
