The Foundations of Mindfulness: How to Cultivate Attention, Good Judgment, and Tranquility

**An Essential Addition to Mindfulness Literature** *Who among us does not want to discern right from wrong and useful from useless in any situation?* Thirty years ago-long before the modern mindfulness movement-Eric Harrison began teaching meditation as a secular, science-based therapy. Paradoxically, he rooted his practice in the Buddha's original teaching: the *Satipatthana Sutta*. The 13 steps in the *Sutta* offer readers the *full* benefits of mindfulness: attention, good judgment, and tranquility. Now-informed by a lifetime spent teaching tens of thousands to meditate-Harrison offers both a new translation of the *Sutta* (the first in modern English) and lucid guidance on how to apply it today.
