An Essential Addition to Mindfulness LiteratureWho among us does not want to discern right from wrong and useful from useless in any situation?. Thirty years ago -- long before the modern mindfulness movement -- Eric Harrison began teaching meditation as a secular, science-based therapy. Paradoxically, he rooted his practice in the Buddhas original teaching: the Satipatthana Sutta.. The 13 steps in the Sutta offer readers the full benefits of mindfulness: attention, good judgment, and tranquility. Now -- informed by a lifetime spent teaching tens of thousands to meditate -- Harrison offers both a new translation of the Sutta (the first in modern English) and lucid guidance on how to apply it today.
