Buddhist Mindfulness

I would like to share with you this brilliant speach on Buddhist mindfullness, held by a teacher from the FWBO, the Buddhist Sangha where I practice.

Mindfullness of the small, everyday things.
Mindfullness of the body.
Mindfullness of the positive, negative or neutral feelings of the body.
Mindfullness of the citta (heart/mind), or the stories that we tell our selves.
Mindfullness of the Dharma, or bringing the practice into action of what we can do in the now, to change the situation.

Wow! Interesting speech, and funny too. Lots of same thoughts as in the yogaworld. I liked it, I like him. What´s his book called?

His Buddhist name is Maitreyabandhu.The book: "Life With Full Attention: A Practical Course In Mindfulness". Although I´m not sure it´s published yet. Yeah, Buddhist philosophy is very similar to Yoga philosophy. There are more videos here: http://www.videosangha.net
Enjoy!
