Summary: Today's FBA Dharmabyte, simply titled "Mindfulness," by Paramabandhu, is from the comprehensive and invaluable talk titled "Mindfulness For Just About Everything" given at the San Francisco Buddhist Center in 2006. Drawing on many years of experience as a consultant psychiatrist and Dharma teacher, he invites us to consider the lessons Buddhist techniques around meditation and mindfulness training can bring to the field of mental health - especially to problems with depression and addiction. The talk evokes the Buddha in the Satipatthana Sutta to explore the four traditional foundations of mindfulness and discuss their potential use in therapeutic contexts.
