Consciousness will be introduced axiomatically, inspired by Buddhist insight meditation and psychology, logic in computer science, and cognitive neuroscience, as consisting of a stream of configurations that is compound, discrete, and (non-deterministically) computable. Within this context the notions of self, concentration, mindfulness, and various forms of suffering can be defined. As an application of this set up, it will be shown how a combined development of concentration and mindfulness can attenuate and eventually eradicate some of the forms of suffering.
