Mindfulness

In Brief Mindfulness is non-forgetfulness of an introduced object and has the function of preventing mental wandering. Elaborately Definition: Proper mindfulness is a consciousness with the three characteristics of object, aspect and function. Object: The object is an introduced phenomenon. To have single-pointed concentration it is necessary to have uninterrupted mindfulness of a positive inner object, but this is only possible if the consciousness is introduced to the object. The more familiar the consciousness is with the object, the easier it can later overcome sinking. Aspect: Non-forgetfulness after having focused on that object. Even if the consciousness is introduced to the object, there is no mindfulness if it immediately wanders away from the object. The focus on the object needs to be complete to attain perfect concentration. This can be achieved by letting the mind become one with the object.

Function: Because mental abiding on the object increases through strong mindfulness, it is said that mindfulness has the function of preventing mental wandering. Proper mindfulness facilitates singlepointed focus on the object by preventing mental wandering.[p.13]The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors
