Nao in Pensar nada e chamado quietude. O professor vai Dizer: ". Sua Mente e Como UMA Pessoa Que nao trabalha TODO O Tempo Em Vezes elementos Descanso UM TEM. As Vezes, elemento se movimenta E OUTRAS Vezes elementos FICA Bases de Dados e nao FAZ NADA. Embora uma Mente Vazia ESTA, NEM ELA NEM trabalha estadas QUIETO TODO o tempo. " Ser Capaz de Notar uma Ocorrencia do Pensamento e tranquilidade nao Significa SABE Que Ninguem uma Verdadeira Natureza Desta Mente. Simplesmente e um CAPACIDADE de detectar quando HA For most people, especially in the Mahamudra system, the mindfulness ofdeliberate attention is essential in the beginning. Otherwise, by relying on onlyeffortless mindfulness, you may not even notice whether you are distracted ornot. Instead, it is much better to practice deliberate mindfulness even though it issubtly conceptual, and gradually progress to effortless mindfulness.In the Mahamudra teachings, you often find the phrase 'original innatenature'. This is nothing other than buddha nature. The training is simply tobecome used to that. To train, you must first of all be introduced to and haverecognized the view. In Mahamudra, once the practitioner has recognized theview, he or she takes mindfulness as the path; it is a way of training20in thatview.If mindfulness is lost, then we are led completely astray into the 'blackdissipation' of ordinary habitual patterns. So either we remember the view andsustain it, or the practice is destroyed. We need to know when we are distracted.Discursive thought is distraction, but once we recognize the essence of thought,we have arrived at non-thought. A quote from The Rain of Wisdom by JamgonLodro Thaye says, 'Within complexity I discovered dharmakaya; within thought Idiscovered nonthought'. For most of us there is no way around having to remindourselves of the view by being mindful.That which goes astray is simply ourattention. Our mind becomes distracted, and that which brings us back to theview is called 'deliberate mindfulness'. In the same way, if you want the light tocome on in a room, a conscious act is necessary. You must put your finger onthe light-switch and press it; the light doesn't turn itself on.In the same way, the moment we are carried away, we think, 'I have wanderedoff'. By recognizing the identity of who has been distracted, you haveautomatically arrived back in the view. The reminder is nothing more than that.This moment is like pressing the light-switch.Once the light is on, you do not have to keep pressing it. After a while, we forgetagain and are carried away. At that point we must reapply deliberatemindfulness.This is a good example for the famous phrase, 'The artificial leads to the natural'. First apply themethod; then, once you are in the natural state, simply allow its continuity. After awhile our attentionbegins to wander. Having noticed the distraction, apply mindfulness and remainnaturally. The natural state is effortless mindfulness.What is important is a sense of natural ongoingness or continuity. Strike a bell and the sound will continue for some time. In the same way, by deliberate mindfulness you recognize the essence, and that recognition lasts for some time. As
