The most fundamental definition we find of the Buddhist path to awakening is fairly straightforward: cultivate the wholesome & abandon the unwholesome. This idea is further teased out in the teachings on right effort, and it is even further defined within the context of the fourth foundation of mindfulness. Bhikkhu Analayo states that the task of the fourth foundation is to monitor the minds’ progress on the path by: overcoming the hindrances, and developing the awakening factors. This perspective on the practice offers us a very explicit directive and can help guide us develop a clear undertaking that supports an unshakable faith in the project of waking up. As mindfulness continues to make inroads within a variety of settings in our culture, now is a great time to uncover its origins and bring them to light in a meaningful and pragmatic way.  During this day-long event, Dave Smith will offer teachings, guided practices, and periods of Q&A where we can discuss these ideas as a group in support of each of us developing a mode of practice that is both relevant and transformative. Cutting through the confusion of the meditative experience is essential for each of us to feel confident on the ground in which we stand. 


This event is open to all who are interested. No prior experience is needed.
