Mindfulness is a subtle process that you are using at this very moment. The
fact that this process lies above and beyond words does not make it unreal--
quite the reverse. Mindfulness is the reality which gives rise to words--the
words that follow are simply pale shadows of reality. So, it is important to
understand that everything that follows here is analogy. It is not going to
make perfect sense. It will always remain beyond verbal logic. But you can
experience it. The meditation technique called Vipassana (insight) that was
introduced by the Buddha about twenty-five centuries ago is a set of mental
activities specifically aimed at experiencing a state of uninterrupted
Mindfulness.
正念是用心於當下的精巧過程。雖然語言難以描述，但其真實性卻勿庸置疑。以下對正念
的描述，正如霧裏看花一樣，只是一些類推而已，也沒敢打算做到完美的表達，難免遺漏
一些文字無法表達的部份。但是你仍可藉此經驗正念。佛陀在兩千五百年前所傳下來的正
觀禪（Vipassana Meditation音譯作『毗缽舍那』），就是一套使你能夠經驗正念的心靈
活動。
