Listen to a Drishti Point Yoga Podcast with Douglas Veenhof, former mountain guide, an award-winning journalist, and the author of White Lama. Douglas speaks about the Four Applications of Mindfulness, a comprehensive methodology to probe four misunderstandings that are the root of all human problems. This innovative system of practice was developed by the Buddha and investigates our conceptual wisdom with the empirical method of single-pointed meditative focus. The Buddha called this “the direct path” to liberation, and it is the fusion of Shamatha and Vipashyana.
