Attention

Description

In contemplative practice, attention is the mind's initial turning toward an object. When refined into "wise attention," it becomes the critical skill of directing our focus appropriately, looking deeply into the roots of our experience to understand cause, effect, and habit loops, rather than just reacting to surface appearances.
