Clear Comprehension in Daily Life Mindfulness Practice

This podcast includes guided meditation and a Dharma talk on how we can cultivate clear comprehension.  This is particularly important in the time of COVID-19 and, of course, at all times. Simply put, clear comprehension is the state of awareness that exists when your mind is sharp enough to enable you to detect your own intentions and thoughts in daily life before they become processed into action, speech and all forms of emotional, mental phenomena. The greater your ability to be aware of your intentions and thoughts, the better will be your ability to exercise skilful action, speech and wisdom in your daily life. Compassionate intention becomes the guiding light for all your actions in the world. 

 

Again, monks, when going forward and returning, one acts clearly knowing; when looking ahead and looking away one acts clearly knowing; when flexing and extending one’s limbs one acts clearly knowing . . . when eating, drinking, consuming food, and tasting one acts clearly knowing; when defecating and urinating one acts clearly knowing; when walking, standing, sitting, falling asleep, waking up, talking, and keeping silent one acts clearly knowing.” Goldstein, Joseph. Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening (p. 49)
