7 Treasures of Awakening | Free Book
Among the Buddha's many teachings, his instruction on the Seven
Factors of Awakening stands alone for the cumulative benefits it
makes available to us. When we are firmly established in
mindfulness, the Buddha explained, these seven "treasures" serve to
steer the mind away from delusion and the causes of suffering,
guiding us to the realization of freedom. In
7 Treasures of Awakening, Insight Meditation Society
cofounder Joseph Goldstein reveals how each one of these qualities
of enlightenment sequentially develop and support each other as our
practice of mindfulness matures.
