Everyday Buddhism 27 - Right Mindfulness and Meditation




Everyday Buddhism: Making Everyday Better show

Summary: In this episode we'll talk about Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration. Studies show that meditation seems to cease the activity of the lobes in the brain that determine where self ends and non-self begins. Meaning, meditation can dissolve our sense of separateness and heighten a sense of interconnection. The Buddha did not teach enlightenment as escape to another world and meditation as its vehicle. The Buddha taught that enlightenment is truly seeing and being in the life you are in.
