Mindfulness Of Mind-3

The fourth foundation of mindfulness, the mind as a sense door, can be the trickiest to look at. We are using our mental faculty of knowing to examine knowing. Thoughts, moods, and mental states arise at the mind door as objects, not as who we are.

Metacognition means knowing what the mind is doing while it’s doing it. And in Buddhist language, this is sati, mindfulness joined with paññā—wisdom or understanding. Most of the time, we are in the mind’s activity but not aware of it.
