KNOWING THAT THE MIND IS PAYING ATTENTION IS BEING MINDFUL

Swiss Retreat 2019 Interviews 3 (06:15-06:44) with Sayadaw U Tejaniya

Yogi: I have been struggling to be mindful because I keep forgetting; how can I remember more?

Sayadaw: When we do work, we need to put our attention on what we’re doing, that is also the mind paying attention. If you can see that it’s the mind doing that, you can still remain mindful. That is why we do need to know the mind as well as the body.

If we know only the body, it is not enough to practice at home. We need to know both.
