Satipatthana Sutta Study

Body and Body Parts

Dharma Contemplation

Sit silently before doing your Satipatthana practice.
Settle into the body, just breathe for a while, easing into the moment

Read the passage slowly and mindfully, letting the words seep into your mind and body as you start your sitting.

Then read again, listening to this audio file as you read. -





During the day stay with the words that resonate for you.
