center> About The Book
The climate of Kuru is good and the plants have a lot of vitality. The people are strong, capable and interested in deep contemplation. They loved the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (Satipatthana Sutta) so much that when the helpers washed clothes by the river or sat at a loom, they were only interested in discussing the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. Anyone who does not practice the Four Foundations of Mindfulness will be blamed by the whole village for being a corpse that soils the ground. Whoever practices the Four Foundations of Mindfulness will immediately be praised: "How good! Life has human qualities."
