The Path of Practice 2023

The transformative path of practice must include three fundamental elements identified here by the teacher, Fred Eppsteiner. Mindfulness, being present Now, is the first, and this mindfulness must have established criteria including integrity, kindness, compassion, understanding, and intention. The second element is the concentrated mind: concentration which unifies the energies of the mind. Insight is the third and final element that goes beyond intellectual understanding to deep looking, acknowledging the power of the ego and how one relates to one's own suffering. A transformational mindfulness practice incorporating these three elements can produce real change which is wholesome and leads to a happier way of being. Our Life becomes our Practice.
