Dear Yong Peng,

I inserted some suggestions. Looking at pa.tisa.mvedii, as to meaning it is,
I think, certainly sati sampaja~n~na, mindfulness and understanding. But as
to the word, it implies feeling, experiencing. It could also be translated
as being aware of the citta or consciousness. Since it is paralel to the
third tetrad of anapanasati sutta, it could be translated as: experiencing
consciousness. He sees citta in citta, as the third application of
mindfulness. He develops jhana and insight. He is aware of the jhanacitta
with gladness, joy and concentration.
I intend to post the next days what I wrote before on this part of
anapanasati in four small parts, avoiding long Emails.
Nina.
