Re: the place of cognition in satipatthana?
sorry i cant copy paste - its pages 26 to 28 - a small part of what he says : " also notice this reflection if they occur , but he should not dwell on them" it is said to be aware of everything just not to think about the "reflections" about reality but just to "note" t...

Re: the place of cognition in satipatthana?

Re: Why the criticisms?

Also remember noting itself is not mindfulness, but a tool to help aid in mindfulness billymac you are right (i think) - i just want to add i read somewhere a monk said that if you label you have mindfulness at that moment - that once you label something you cannot be unmindful at that time
