    I'm gonna do a little bit of an abbreviated version of class tonight and probably end a little bit early because I'm going to a show. So we're gonna meditate fast and then I'm gonna talk fast and then we're gonna leave early. The second aspect of the fourth foundation of mindfulness, which is the seventh factor of the eightfold path. I know it's a lot of math, a lot of lists in Buddhism, which are kind of nice. Once you are studying Buddhism for a while, you can kind of start to organize like, okay, there's four noble truths.

    4th Foundation

    I'm gonna talk about the fourth foundation of mindfulness: Dhamma nupasana, dhamma, truth, mindfulness of the mind objects, what arises in our mind, what we become aware of when we meditate. It's several teachings in one. In the fourth foundation all of the Buddhist teachings are in these different lists and then sub lists. So this is the fourth part of the mindfulness list. Then there's five different lists within this fourth section. The first one is the five hindrances, the five things that make meditation difficult, that make happiness difficult, that make freedom from suffering difficult, that hinder our ability to see clearly and respond.

    3rd Foundation

    Tonight we're talking about mindfulness, the seventh factor of the Buddha's teachings. The Eightfold Path, the eight things that need to be practiced, developed, experienced in order to find liberation freedom. The seventh factor is mindfulness, and mindfulness is broken down into four categories.  Tonight we're on the third of the four categories, which is mindfulness of the mind.

    1st Foundation

    I thought I'd start over tonight with, for at least the next four to six weeks going through each foundation of mindfulness. The first foundation of mindfulness is a core Buddhist practice, core teaching. It is very central to what we're doing. It comes in the Buddha's teachings of the fourth truth, in the eightfold path, as the seventh factor.

    Mindfulness

    Tonight's topic, I'm gonna talk about mindfulness as the core meditation teaching of the Buddha. I’ll explain how it works and why it's so important, how it fits within the Buddhist tradition and teachings. One of the, kind of, sub texts of mindfulness, Satipatthana, Four Foundations of Mindfulness, is the direct path to realization.

    Appreciative Joy

    The core of this teaching is learning and having the experience of empathizing with the happiness of others. Actually experiencing a genuine feeling of “I’m happy with you. I'm happy for you”. In some ways, this is the opposite of jealousy and envy when somebody else is getting what you want and you feel like, “fuck them”.
