When this discussion thread began I ASSUMED TNH's 'mindfulness' was the same as 'Buddha Mind' or 'Original Mind'. After reading some of these posts I think maybe that's not a valid assumption. Now I think maybe 'mindfulness' is a teaching technique to prepare you or lead you towards 'Buddha Mind'. If that's so then paying attention to precepts would be appropriate while practicing 'mindfulness'.
