Mindfulness is present time awareness. It takes place in the here and now.
It is the observance of what is happening right now, in the present moment.
It stays forever in the present, surging perpetually on the crest of the
ongoing wave of passing time. If you are remembering your second-grade
teacher, that is memory. When you then become aware that you are remembering
your second-grade teacher, that is mindfulness. If you then conceptualize the
process and say to yourself, "Oh, I am remembering", that is thinking.

正念是「觉知」当下，对当下发生的事如实观察，它永远存在於当下。如果你忆起了你
二年级的老师，那是「回忆」。你「觉察」到自己正在回忆二年级的老师，那是正念。
如果你「概念化」整个过程，然後对自己说「我正在回忆」，那就变成是「思考」了。
