Show Notes
Last week we looked at Bhikkhu Analayo’s understanding of sati or mindfulness as a good friend always available to us. This week, we come back to this with a personal reflection or contemplation practice for examining– what do I do when seeking to be “mindful?”
Right away from the moment of waking up in the morning our good friend sati can already be there, as if waiting for us. She is ready to accompany us throughout the rest of the day, encouraging us to stay receptive and soft, and open, soft and understanding. She never gets upset when we happen to forget about her. As soon as we remember her, she is right there to be with us again.
-Bhikkhu Analayo, Satipatthana Meditation
