Universal Mindfulness Village

by Ranga Jayawardena

The Universal Mindfulness Village (UMV) English podcast is a platform for radical reflections born of mindfulness. Mindfulness, or present moment awareness, brings the mind back home–to the level of zero, where everything is null and void. That freedom is our birthright; all of us are endowed with mindfulness, whether we realize it or not. As one drills deeper into the freedom of the original mind, radical insights, or vipassana, come into light. This podcast is a forum for our mindful family to share such insights. UMV was founded by Most Venerable Dhammajiva Maha Thero, a Sri Lankan forest monk who has practiced mindfulness for 40+ years. Through this podcast, UMV is opening a discussion about the micro and macro causes, symptoms and cures for the ailments of the modern world. Try to be mindful here and now. You will experience firsthand how the mind has a fear of freedom. Seeking pleasure, fearing pain and overlooking neutrality, the mind runs from the utter pea
