Chapter 2: The Philosophy of Mindfulness in Buddhism

Buddhism teaches that mindfulness is key to achieving peace and happiness. Central to this philosophy are the Four Noble Truths, which explain the nature of suffering and how to overcome it, and the Eightfold Path, a guide to ethical and mental development. Mindfulness meditation, known as Vipassana, is a core practice in Buddhism, helping people become aware of their thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them. By practicing mindfulness, you can develop greater wisdom, compassion, and inner peace.
