| Aids and
Incentives to Sati - Sampajanna Mindfulness & Full
awareness
- By Bhikkhu K Ñänananda |
||
| 1. | Sati is Economy
(Nothing goes waste). |
|
| 2. | Listen to the SOUND (if
any) caused by your actions or Listen - to the SILENCE
that accompany your actions. |
|
| 3. | ONE - thing-
at-a-time-and-THAT done-well. |
|
| 4. | Walk on the precipice
of the PRESENT. Let not passing 'trains' of thought make you dizzy. |
|
| 5. | Have a special
speed-limit within the precincts of your hut. Caution : Go slow "slowly - carefully - mindfully" Note : Haste makes waste |
|
| 6. | Keep an eye on the
stranger in your KUTI (ie. Yourself to avoid accidents). |
|
| 7. | Make a mental note as
to how your vehicle (body) is disposed while it is on the
'pathways of movements' |
|
| 8. | Dub yourself 'a
patient' - and be patient. |
|
| 9. | Whenever you are
sweeping, sweep the moments away softly and carefully
leaving no 'rubbish' behind ! |
|
| 10. | Enlist the
"WORD", to marshal 'sati-sampajanna'. Its
advantages : ACTION is too gross and, THOUGHT is too subtle, but, WORD stands mid-way between them. |
|
| 11. | Nip-it-in-the-bud! Whenever you notice some turmoil in your mind, know it to be an ally of mara and dispel it. |
|
| 12. | Full-awareness
(sampajanna) insulates against SHOCKS. |
