Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Friends: A Simple and Easy Way to Continuous Awareness : Friends, this highly advantageous praxis can be undertaken by anyone,at any time, all day long, in all situations, and at all locations! Therefore:Do it! Repeat it!, & Remember it!: When walking, one understands: 'I am walking..' When standing, one knows: 'I am standing..' If sitting, one notes: 'I am sitting down now..'While lying down, one reflects: 'Now, I am lying down..' When moving forward or returning, one clearly comprehends exactly that..When looking forward or away, one clearly comprehends exactly that..When bending or extending a limb, one clearly comprehends exactly that..When dressing or carrying things, one clearly comprehends exactly that..When eating, drinking, & chewing, one clearly comprehends exactly that..When defecating or urinating, one clearly comprehends exactly that..When walking, standing or sitting, one clearly comprehends exactly that..When falling asleep & waking up, one clearly comprehends exactly that..When talking & dwelling in silence, one clearly comprehends exactly that.. Rational & alert attention is thus the cause of clear comprehension...!!!When - Continuous Awareness - is established, it prevents all mistakesand their painful after-effects! In this way, do clear comprehensionlead to loss of frustration & gain of satisfaction! Correctly cultivated,and made much of, this praxis will be all beings welfare and happinessfor a long, long time. Since clear comprehension purifies both purpose, the suitability, the domain, and the unconfused focus of any activity! Source: The Exhaustive Speeches by the Buddha.
