Mindfulness is nonconceptual awareness. Another English term for Sati is
'bare attention'. It is not thinking. It does not get involved with thought
or concepts. It does not get hung up on ideas or opinions or memories. It
just looks. Mindfulness registers experiences, but it does not compare them.
It does not label them or categorize them. It just observes everything as if
it was occurring for the first time. It is not analysis which is based on
reflection and memory. It is, rather, the direct and immediate experiencing
of whatever is happening, without the medium of thought. It comes before
thought in the perceptual process.

正念是不带概念的「觉知」，sati的另一种说法是「赤裸裸的注意」，但不是思考。
它不陷入思想或概念。它不沈溺於想法、意见、回忆，它只是「看」。正念记录经验，
但并不比较它们，并不贴标签或分类，它只是如同初次经历发生的事，它是在开始思考
前的了解过。（译按：只运作了三量－比量、非量、现量－当中的现量）
