MINDFULNESS

• Definition -is a mental factor that functions NOT TO FORGET the object REALIZED BY A PRIMARY MIND
• Mindfulness can focus ONLY on an object that has ALREADY BEEN REALIZED; 
• it IS NOT PRESENT at the FIRST MOMENT of REALIZING AN OBJECT.
• Mindfulness MAINTAINS the CONTINUUM of the ORIGINAL COGNITION by NOT FORGETTING the OBJECT

(Mindfulness cont'd)

if a PRIMARY MIND LACKS MINDFULNESS

it will 

IMMEDIATELY FORGET its Object.

WITHOUT Mindfulness, 

our mind is like a

LEAKY VESSEL

-no matter how much we study we will not be able to retain anything
