"The Four Foundations of Mindfulness are themselves foundational.
The Buddha referred to this teaching as "the direct path for the
purification of beings... and for the realization of liberation."
In Bhante Gunaratana's experienced hands, all its facets really do
come to life in plain English, for the potential benefit of those
who drink it in. My advice: Drink long, drink deeply."--Jon
Kabat-Zinn, author of Mindfulness for Beginners
"A new book from Bhante Gunaratana is always cause for celebration.
His new work, The Four Foundations of Mindfulness in Plain English,
is essential for deepening our understanding of mindfulness
practice. It's a comprehensive mindfulness manual!"--Toni Bernhard,
author of How to Be Sick
"Bhante Gunaratana's works stand out for their depth of wisdom,
clarity of expression, and warm-hearted accessibility. The Four
Foundations of Mindfulness in Plain English continues this
tradition of exceptionally helpful dharma teachings."--Joseph
Goldstein, author of A Heart Full of Peace
