Mindfulness is present time awareness. It takes place in the here and now.
It is the observance of what is happening right now, in the present moment.
It stays forever in the present, surging perpetually on the crest of the
ongoing wave of passing time. If you are remembering your second-grade
teacher, that is memory. When you then become aware that you are remembering
your second-grade teacher, that is mindfulness. If you then conceptualize the
process and say to yourself, "Oh, I am remembering", that is thinking.

正念是「覺知」當下，對當下發生的事如實觀察，它永遠存在於當下。如果你憶起了你
二年級的老師，那是「回憶」。你「覺察」到自己正在回憶二年級的老師，那是正念。
如果你「概念化」整個過程，然後對自己說「我正在回憶」，那就變成是「思考」了。
