Sylvia Boorstein

This video is a special release from the original Thinking Allowed series that ran on public television from 1986 until 2002. It was recorded in about 1998. It will remain public for only one week.

Sylvia Boorstein, PhD, clinical psychologist and Buddhist meditation teacher, is author of It’s Easier Than You Think, Don’t Just Do Something, Sit There and That’s Funny, You Don’t Look Buddhist. Here she presents the essence of the eightfold path and the four noble truths of Buddhism. She discusses Vipassana–or mindfulness–meditation which entails detaching from the thoughts, cravings and aversions that pass through the mind. Through this practice one gains insight into the impermanence of all mental states.
