Buddhist meditator and scholar Bhikkhu Analayo introduces the
Buddhist backgrounds to mindfulness, ranging from mindful eating to
its formal cultivation as satipatthana (the foundations of
mindfulness). He also offers a historical survey of the development
of mindfulness in different Buddhist traditions. Providing an
accessible guide, he offers practical exercises on how to develop
mindfulness. The orally transmitted early teachings examined here
provide a range of perspectives on mindfulness, with a clear
overarching focus on the role of mindfulness in the path to
`awakening', to an understanding of reality as it is. Analayo shows
how mindfulness is a central tool for recognizing the influence of
greed, anger and delusion, and how to emerge from these to progress
on the path of practice to liberation. He shows how mindfulness
brings about a clear vision of reality, fostering a gradual freeing
of the mind from these influences, and enabling us to be more fully
in touch with what is taking place and remain in the present; we
learn to slow down and come to our senses. As well as being
directed within, Analayo demonstrates how mindfulness helps us
discern how what we do impacts others, and thus naturally
strengthens our compassion, helping us avoid harming others and
ourselves. Mindfulness is something to be practised, and at the end
of each chapter Analayo provides instructions for developing
mindfulness step by step, bringing it into our personal experience.
