The Contemplative Path

Part 1. What is it?

Contemplatives of various traditions, including Jewish, Christian and Buddhist, as well as clinicians,
academics and lay people, talk about their contemplative life.

Contemplative practices often involve a systematic form of training of the mind, as is done in meditation.

It often refers to a particular form of observation in which there is a total devotion to revealing, clarifying, and making manifest the nature of reality.

The foundation of mindfulness is often seen as a direct path for “cessation of suffering”, “awakening” or “realization.”
