    A Map to a Place Where Mindfulness Exists and How to Get There

    To be mindful, you need to undergo a shift—moving from “this world”* to a dimension where awareness exists. When you happened to be mindful, according to Ven. Yamashita, it did not occur as the result of successful control of your mind, but because of the shift, which happened unnoticed and unintentionally.

Then, what should we do? According to Ven.Continue reading "Retreat, Ego, and Dimension X (aka the Other Shore)"

    For your mindfulness practice to work

    While our suffering can take many forms, we know our mind is the culprit. Mindfulness can bring an end to it,  so we are convinced. However, can meditating with the same mind that causes suffering truly make us mindful?  “NO”. says Ven. Yamashita. In this introductory talk, he teaches that real practice won’t start unlessContinue reading "For your mindfulness practice to work"
