Mindfulness

In Asian languages, the word for ‘mind’ and the word for
‘heart’ are the same word.   So when we hear the word ‘mindfulness’, we have to
inwardly also hear ‘heartfulness’  in order to grasp it even as a concept, and
especially as a way of being.

Jon Kabat-Zinn

Mindfulness is the root of Dharma
Mindfulness is the body of
practice
Mindfulness is the fortress of the mind
Mindfulness is the aid to
the wisdom of innate wakefulness

Lack of Mindfulness will allow the negative forces to overcome
you
Without Mindfulness you will be swept away by laziness
Lack of
Mindfulness is the creator of evil deeds
Without Mindfulness and presence of
mind, nothing can be accomplished
Lack of Mindfulness piles up lots of
shit
Without Mindfulness you sleep in an ocean of piss

Without Mindfulness you are a heartless zombie, a walking
corpse
Dear Dharma friends, please be mindful!
By the aspiration of the
holy lamas, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and lineage masters,
May all Dharma friends
attain stable Mindfulness and ascend the throne of perfect
Awakening.

Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche
