This time on Insight Hour, Joseph lectures on:

The Satipatthana Sutta
The four foundations of mindfulness
Overcoming suffering and attaining freedom
How wisdom combines awareness and investigation
Struggling as the manifestation of non-acceptance
Grounding in awareness of different sense objects
Attuning to the patterns and conditioning in our minds
The attitudes and judgements we have about experiences
The ability to learn about our minds in any situation

“Wisdom arises out of awareness and it combines the qualities of investigation, of what the Buddha called right understanding/right attitude. With mindfulness as the platform, that is the foundation. Without mindfulness none of this happens.“ – Joseph Goldstein
