Mindfulness Is the Root of Dorma

It's really important to know this about our minds, because most people don't. And without knowing what our mind's doing, we're not motivated to actually wake up. There's a wonderful little dorma poem by noshel kenri pache who was one of the great zochen masters of the last century. He said, mindfulness is the root of dorma. Mindfulness is the body of practice.Mindfulness is the fortress of the mind. Lack of mindfulness will allow the negative forces to overcome you. Without mindfulness, you will be swept away by laziness. You are a heartless zambi, a walking corpse. Dear darma friends, please be mindful
