Applying Mindfulness to Thought

As you've seen and how almost anybody's seen, it just sits down even for five minutes and meditates become aware of the proliferation of thought in the mind. What's so amazing about applying mindfulness to thought as an object is that when we see that when we are mindful that we're thinking, the thoughts have no power at all. We see them as just this very passing in substantial, empty phenomena arising and passing through just like a sound arises and passes through.
