"The practice of mindfulness requires us to suspend judgment and to simply watch whatever unfolds."
-Bhikyu Bodhi, in his book The Noble Eightfold Path

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
This is a very important and wonderful quote and really goes to the heart of what Mindfulness practice is. It is a practice of observing. When we say mindfulness, we mean seeing what we notice and noticing what we see. It means being completely present. Yet, as Biku Bodhi points out, we're not judging what we see. We don't have to hold on to opinions or analyze it. We don't need to approve of it or disapprove of it. We are bearing witness, we are suspending our judgment, and we are simply watching whatever unfolds or comes up in our mind. This is the path of mindfulness meditation.
