First of all, let me share this with you: although Right Mindfulness is often mentioned as a supportive factor (MN 117), we do not usually find a clear explanation of Right Mindfulness that is both secular and transcendent. Therefore, to truly understand Right Mindfulness, we need to learn it directly from the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta (MN 10).
What follows is a complete and systematic presentation of each Right Mindfulness practice—traditionally known as the 36 Satipaṭṭhāna practices.
