The Importance of Mindfulness

The word in Pali means remembering. It refers particularly to the remembering of certain recollections, certain wholesome recollections. These are reflections on the Buddha, on the Dharma, on the Sangha,. On one's own ethical conduct and generosity. Without mindfulness you will be swept away by laziness. Lack of mindfulness is the creator of evil deeds. The efforts we make in our practice are part of a much larger journey.
