Mindfulness (sati): this is alertness, which makes us aware of what is happening to us, from moment to moment, through the five physical senses and the mind. Mindfulness is essential to insight meditation, when it must be conjoined with a clear comprehension of the suitability, purpose, and conformity with reality of any action. Then it is called right mindfulness (sammaa sati). Usually the average person acts without any form of mindfulness; his acts are prompted by force of habit. Right mindfulness has two functions: one is to increase the power of recollection and the other is to evaluate what is wholesome and what is unwholesome. Right mindfulness is a spiritual faculty that maintains a proper balance of the other faculties — faith, energy, concentration and wisdom.
Shame of evil (hiri) and fear of evil (ottappa) are the opposites of the second and third unwholesome mental factors, already discussed.
Non-attachment (alobha) restrains attachment and fosters generosity.
Good-will (adosa) is synonymous with loving kindness (mettaa). It keeps a person free from resentment and anger.
Equanimity (tatramajjhattaa, upekkhaa) is balance of mind, a quality of neutrality free from attachment and repulsion.
The other twelve common beautiful factors fall into six pairs, one member affecting the "body" of mental factors (kaaya), the other affecting
consciousness as a whole (citta). The six are as follows, the terms themselves indicating their nature:
composure (passaddhi) of the mental factors and consciousness
buoyancy (lakhutaa) of the mental factors and consciousness
pliancy (mudutaa) of the mental factors and consciousness
efficiency (kammaññataa) of the mental factors and consciousness
proficiency (paguññataa) of the mental factors and consciousness
rectitude (ujukataa) of the mental factors and consciousness
Very interesting concept in Abhidhamma.
It appears to me that when you practice one of them you accomplish all the above 19 mental factors.
For instance, if you practice Satipathana (Sati) you accomplish all 19 beautiful mental factors.If that is the case Satipathana is very rewarding.
Am I correct?
