Sati Meditation 2010 Program

Sati Meditation

Sponsored by: BAUS at Chuang Yen Monastery

Sati Meditation (as taught by Luangpor Teean) incorporates rhythmic bodily movements to cultivate awareness of the body and the mind. This ultimately leads to direct and profound understanding of the origin of and the liberation from suffering in human experiences. Sati Meditation is a form of vipassana (insight) meditation introduced by Luangpor Teean Jittasubho (1911 – 1988) of Thailand. This unique form of meditation is especially suitable for modern society and environment because experienced practitioners can practice and apply the meditation in their daily life.
