Sangha night talk from Paranita 'What Mindfulness Really is'

'Mindfulness is the way to the Deathless. Unmindfulness the way to death. Those who are mindful do not die, whereas the unmindful are like the dead.' - The Buddha, Dhammapada verse 21.
Awareness, or mindfulness, is the keystone of the Buddhist path and of any truly human life. The Buddha's teaching on what awareness is and how to practise it is vast, profound, and takes us far beyond what we might usually associate with the word 'mindfulness'. It requires a willingness to open our heart and a good deal of courage to enter upon this way. Are you up for the challenge?
This week we'll be continuing to look at Mindfulness as a complete Path to the Deathless. Paranita will be asking 'What is Mindfulness Really' as we explore awareness in its fullest sense and uncover its many dimensions.
