Do you want to learn the fundamentals of Buddhism? Do you want to learn it in a practical manner that actually improves your day-to-day life? Do you want to learn it in an easy-to-understand manner?

Mindfulness è la brillante interpretazione in lingua inglese di Sati, parola in lingua pali che può essere tradotta appunto come "piena consapevolezza" o "attenzione presente e attiva". Nella sua forma più originaria la Mindfulness è ascritta in una precisa cultura spirituale, quella buddista, e la sua pratica trova la sua genesi nella prima scaturigine del buddismo, fondato sulle Quattro Nobili Verità e sull'Ottuplice Sentiero, l'insegnamento etico del buddhismo, che guida la pratica di vita dell'individuo.

Visualizzando il mandala e meditando, il mistico dissolve le apparenze e rinasce come mandala: corpo, voce, mente e mandala non sono più entità separate. La visualizzazione del mandala introduce il mistico a una nuova dimensione spaziale e temporale.
