Four Foundations Of Mindfulness - The Buddha Dharma Series

Four Foundations Of Mindfulness - The Buddha Dharma Series

Author: Yeshe Rabgye October 3, 2020 Duration: 21:30
The four foundation practices of mindfulness are awareness of our bodies, of our feelings, our mental states and objects of the mind. The purpose of these practices is to get to know ourselves better. It will help us understand what is working for us and what isn’t. This will allow us to change more effectively and positively. My latest book 'Open Awareness, Open Mind' is available now on Amazon and Kindle - https://amzn.to/35uboLq If you have any questions for Yeshe about this podcast, Buddhism, meditation or mindfulness you can contact him on the Facebook page below: https://www.facebook.com/thebuddhismguide If you would like to support future episodes please visit www.patreon.com/buddhismguide Follow Buddhism Guide: Website - www.buddhismguide.org Facebook - www.facebook.com/thebuddhismguide/ Instagram – www.instagram.com/buddhism_guide/ Twitter – www.twitter.com/BuddhismGuide

In a world often filled with noise, Buddhism Guide offers a space for practical reflection. Hosted by Yeshe Rabgye, a Buddhist monk originally from England, this podcast approaches ancient wisdom with a grounded, secular perspective. Yeshe travels internationally, sharing teachings on meditation, mindfulness, and mental well-being, but here he distils those conversations into accessible audio sessions. The tone is deliberately unpretentious, stripping away cultural ornamentation to focus on the core principles that can be applied to modern life. You won't find dogma here; instead, each episode invites a personal examination of your own mind and experiences. Yeshe presents ideas with clarity, never demanding blind acceptance but encouraging thoughtful inquiry. Whether exploring the nature of suffering, the mechanics of meditation, or the everyday cultivation of compassion, this podcast serves as a pragmatic companion. It’s for anyone curious about how Buddhist thought can inform a more resilient and aware existence, regardless of spiritual background. Tuning in feels less like attending a lecture and more like engaging in a considered dialogue, one that values your own insight as much as the teaching itself.
