وقتی شروعش کردم توقع نداشتم اینهمه اطلاعات راجع به بودا بده.
باعث شد دلم بخواد راجع به بودا و اعتقادات بوداییسم بخونم.

One thing you need to remember and understand is that you cannot leave the mind alone. It needs to be watched constantly. If you do not look after your garden it will overgrow with weeds. If you do not watch your mind, defilements will grow and multiply. The mind does not belong to you, but you are responsible for it.


the only things that can be said to truly belong to us are our actions and their results

Massive reflection on a basic text

Ordered lists. There are four noble truths. There are eight paths.

We use the number to remember.

There is also a tradition that uses numbers to count how many items there are. The four gospels. 7 digits in a phone number. One Joseph.

These are different ordered lists.

There are three kinds or ordered lists.

Very little metaphysical claims, very much practical wisdom.

It took me a long time to read this book. I kept falling in and out of reading it as my interested waned and peaked. The repetition of topics is probably good for the reader but definitely caused me to take breaks from reading.

As someone who has never looked at or attempted to read the Satipatthana Sutta I can't comment on how well this book does as interpreting it and presenting learnings. This book seemed to do a good job explaining the various topics in here and I left with a greater understanding.
