Description

Concluding the series on the Satipatthana Sutta, the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, I explore the "refrain" a verse that occurs in the sutta over 20 times. I look at how the aspects of the refrain support us in developing the four foundations, as well as support us in dismantling white supremacy and cultivating antiracism. Here is a blog post about some antiracist books I recommend.

A weekly podcast exploring early Buddhist teachings and how they apply to 21st century life. Kate Spina is trained to share Buddhist teachings in the Theravada lineage. IG: @towardlight108www.towardlight.netinfo@towardlight.netToward Light is committed to continuing the tradition of the Buddha by making Early Buddhist teachings accessible to all who are interested in them. We offer multiple tools to help people cultivate and maintain a meditation practice and a spiritually-oriented life. Toward Light was founded to fill a gap in Early Buddhist meditation offerings, which have often been passed down through patriarchal lineage, and do not always take feminist and 21st century perspectives into account.
