Mindfulness is you mindful of what you're doing. So it's scatteredness if you will. I'm mindful of touching this. Now I'm mindful of talking. I'm mindful of looking. I'm mindful of smelling and so forth. And that's if you do you do that you're still mindful but from a chan pure chan perspective is called being scattered because our mind jumps from here to here to here to here to there and so forth that scatteredness and that's not what we want when you meditate. Meditate is you bring all that you drop all that distraction and focus only one thing one thought only. So that is meditation.
