Satipatthana Sutta

The Satipatthana Sutta is a foundational Buddhist teaching on mindful awareness. It outlines how to cultivate mindfulness through four areas: the body, feelings, mind, and mental objects. By paying close attention to each aspect—such as bodily sensations, emotions, thoughts, and perceptions—practitioners develop clarity, calm, and insight into the nature of experience. This practice helps reduce suffering by encouraging present-moment awareness and understanding impermanence, ultimately guiding individuals toward liberation and wisdom.
