Teaching #77: Right or Wise Mindfulness
Right mindfulness is the clear understanding of your experience in the present moment … You cultivate the skill of mindfulness in daily life in order to stay present with what is happening, see it clearly, and respond appropriately … You are not always going to have mindfulness, but it is your intention to be mindful that matters.
Chapter 20, Pg 243
For your reflection: You’ve been practicing mindfulness for many weeks now. It is not an easy practice particularly in difficult times. Take a moment to reflect on how it has served you. Notice what qualities of mind it has helped you develop — loving kindness, compassion, curiosity, equanimity?
