Before you can answer this question, explains Goldstein, you must understand what the Buddha means by \"feeling.\" Returning to the Pali word \u003cem\u003evedana,\u003c\/em\u003e he points out the qualities of \"pleasantness, unpleasantness, or neutrality\" that arise in every moment of experience. For it is close attention to each of these qualities that unlocks our deepest patterns of conditioning—and removes our greatest obstacles to liberation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"prod_para\"\u003eFrom the crucial distinction between \"worldly\" and \"unworldly\" feelings to practical methods for \"de-conditioning\" habitual responses, Goldstein elucidates the Buddha's instructions for achieving a deeper happiness and ease of being through moment-by-moment mindfulness of feelings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"prod_para\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Third and Fourth Foundations of Mindfulness: Mindfulness of Mind, Mindfulness of Dhammas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"prod_para\"\u003eAs you continue your exploration of the \u003cem\u003eSatipaţ­ţ­hāna Sutta,\u003c\/em\u003e Goldstein brings you to the third and fourth foundations of mindfulness: Mindfulness of Mind and Mindfulness of Dhammas (or \"categories of phenomena\"). Here, you will learn what it means to \"take responsibility for your own heart and mind\"—the central art of the third foundation—through the pragmatic discernment of skillful and wholesome mind states and their counterparts, and direct investigation of the higher states of mind, including \"concentrated\" and \"liberated\" mind, and more. Next, you progress through the beginning sections of the fourth foundation, with Goldstein's step-by-step guidance about working with the hindrances and the aggregates.

They have been very important to me, and have made a notable difference in my life. Each time I go through the series from beginning to end (the series lends itself to this kind of repeated study), new levels of understanding open for me, the teachings inspiring and supporting formal and daily practice, and the practice allowing for successively deeper levels of listening. It is without exaggeration that I can say the Satipaţ­ţ­hāna collection has been a major door opener for me, making the Buddha’s words and instructions readily accessible, allowing for the direct translation of those teachings into here-and-now life changing practice, and, yes, palpably feeding the ongoing transformation of my own suffering into the path to freedom.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"prod_para\" align=\"right\"\u003e—Lloyd Williams\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sounds True","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":35715515154590,"sku":"AF01213D","price":55.96,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio Download","offer_id":35715515187358,"sku":"AF01213W","price":39.18,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"CE Credits","offer_id":35715515220126,"sku":"CE01957","price":52.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0463\/1337\/3854\/products\/131.jpg?v=1597565540","url":"https:\/\/soundstruemhs-com.myshopify.com\/products\/abiding-in-mindfulness-volume-2","provider":"soundstruemhs.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
