What now is Right Attentiveness? […]
- Whenever the disciple is training himself to inhale or exhale (a) whilst feeling the mind, or (b) whilst gladdening the mind, or © whilst concentrating the mind, or (d) whilst setting the mind free-at such a time he is dwelling in contemplation of the mind, full of energy, clearly conscious, attentive, after subduing worldly greed and grief. For, without attentiveness and clear consciousness, I say, there is no Watching over In- and Out-breathing.
(Buddha Sakyamuni)
