Mindfulness - Satiexcerpt fromMindfulness in plain EnglishbyVenerable Henepola GunaratanaMindfulness is the english translation of the Pali word 'Sati.' Sati is an activity. Whatexactly is that? Well, this is one of those questions without a precise answer, at leastnot in words. Words are devised by the symbolic levels of the mind and they describethose realities with which symbolic thinking deals. Mindfulness (Sati) is pre-symbolic. It is not shackled to logic. Nevertheless, Mindfulness can be experienced -rather easily - and it can be described, as long as you keep in mind that the words areonly fingers pointing at the moon. They are not the thing itself. The actual experiencelies beyond the words and above the symbols.
