mindfulnes·s, alertness and carefulness-that are very important. Mindfulness is the quality of estab- lishing the intention to conduct oneself in a certain fashion, to give up certain (presumably negative) actions and/or to adopt certain (presumably posi- tive) actions. The quality of alertness is that aspect of mind that watches and notices whether or not one is conducting oneself in accordance with one's in- tentions. Carefulness is the quality of mind that re- strains carelessness in one's activities, that prevents one from giving oneself permission to drop one's mindfulness and alertness and to act contrary to one's intentions. Carefulness restrains one from slip- ping into negative activities of body, speech and mind as we often do through giving in to strong emotions, through involvement in "samsaric spontaneity" or through mental laziness. Mindfulness, alertness and carefulness are at the core of dharma practice.
