Вот что говорит Тханиссаро Бхиккху:
The Myth of Bare Attention
The Buddha never used the word for
“bare attention” in his meditation
instructions. That’s because he realized
that attention never occurs in a bare, pure, or
unconditioned form. It’s always colored by views
and perceptions—the labels you tend to give to
events—and by intentions: your choice of what
to attend to and your purpose in being attentive.
If you don’t understand the conditioned nature
of even simple acts of attention, you might
assume that a moment of nonreactive attention
is a moment of Awakening. And in that way you
miss one of the most crucial insights in Buddhist
meditation, into how even the simplest events
in the mind can form a condition for clinging
and suffering. If you assume a conditioned event
to be unconditioned, you close the door to the
unconditioned. So it’s important to understand
the conditioned nature of attention and how the
Buddha recommended that it be trained—as
appropriate attention—to be a factor in the path
leading beyond attention to total Awakening.
http://dharma.org/ij/documents/FoodforAwakening_000.pdfIn the Satipatthana Sutta, they’re combined with a third quality: atappa, or
ardency. Ardency means being intent on what you’re doing, trying your best to do
it skillfully. This doesn’t mean that you have to keep straining and sweating all the
time, just that you’re continuous in developing skillful habits and abandoning
unskillful ones. Remember, in the eight factors of the path to freedom, right
mindfulness grows out of right effort. Right effort is the effort to be skillful.
Mindfulness helps that effort along by reminding you to stick with it, so that you
don’t let it drop.
All three of these qualities get their focus from what the Buddha called yoniso
manisikara, appropriate attention. Notice: That’s appropriate attention, not bare
attention. The Buddha discovered that the way you attend to things is determined
by what you see as important—the questions you bring to the practice, the
problems you want the practice to solve. No act of attention is ever bare. If there
were no problems in life you could open yourself up choicelessly to whatever
came along. But the fact is there is a big problem smack dab in the middle of
everything you do: the suffering that comes from acting in ignorance. This is why
the Buddha doesn’t tell you to view each moment with a beginner’s eyes. You’ve
got to keep the issue of suffering and its end always in mind.
