The Importance of Mindfulness in Relationships

Buddhist teaching acknowledges that people are lost in thought oblivious to the ways they actually act. We can easily focus on our thoughts and our intentions, but it's very difficult for us to be aware of what we're actually doing while we're doing it. The Buddha said the foundation of the Dharma is simply knowing, am I sitting, am I standing, am I walking, am I talking, am I eating, am I going to the bathroom, am I working, am I resting,. What am I doing, what am I feeling in my body?"
