Attention, Mindfulness, Concentration. We often use these words interchangeably, but how similar are they? In this podcast, Bhante explores the differences between attention, mindfulness, concentration, and clear comprehension, explaining how meditation trains the mind to observe experience without judgment. Through practices like breath awareness, listeners learn to see impermanence, calm the “monkey mind,” and develop clarity that naturally arises without force or intention. The discussion highlights how a well-trained mind can respond skillfully to life’s challenges, applying mindfulness in everyday situations with calm, insight, and resilience.
