Venerable Chodron begins the teachings on the text by going through the text in a general way. She also talks about how the development of mindfulness is different when done in a secular way than when it is done with the Buddhist world view and motivation.
Sravasti Abbey is among the first of its kind: an American monastic community where aspiring monks and nuns and serious lay students can learn to practice the Buddha's pure Dharma. Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron founded Sravasti Abbey in Newport, Washington in 2003. For short, daily Dharma teachings please visit: http://www.youtube.com/sravastiabbey.
