Mindfulness according to the ancient texts is Present Time, Non-judgmental, Kind, Awareness. It is developed during meditation, after we have developed Samadhi through the practice of Samatha. As the mind learns how to be calm on the cushion, we can then turn towards paying attention to whatever is present. Eventually as we develop this skill it comes off the cushion into our day to day lives. Listen to the talk here at the website or on our Youtube channel for more about this core practice.
