Dharmabyte: Mindfulness of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha

By Sadayasihi on Thu, 9 Dec, 2021 - 06:00

Using metaphors from the Bodhicaryavatara, Bodhinaga draws out how mindfulness can transform our lives, both as a defence against negative, reactive patterns and in actively developing the heart and mind of a Bodhisattva, ‘one who cares more for others than they care for themselves’.

From the talk entitled Staying in Touch, part of the series The Path of Awakening, given at Sheffield Buddhist Centre, 2019.
