Mindfulness is nonconceptual awareness. Another English term for Sati is
'bare attention'. It is not thinking. It does not get involved with thought
or concepts. It does not get hung up on ideas or opinions or memories. It
just looks. Mindfulness registers experiences, but it does not compare them.
It does not label them or categorize them. It just observes everything as if
it was occurring for the first time. It is not analysis which is based on
reflection and memory. It is, rather, the direct and immediate experiencing
of whatever is happening, without the medium of thought. It comes before
thought in the perceptual process.

正念是不帶概念的「覺知」，sati的另一種說法是「赤裸裸的注意」，但不是思考。
它不陷入思想或概念。它不沈溺於想法、意見、回憶，它只是「看」。正念記錄經驗，
但並不比較它們，並不貼標籤或分類，它只是如同初次經歷發生的事，它是在開始思考
前的了解過。（譯按：只運作了三量－比量、非量、現量－當中的現量）
