- བག་ཡོད་པ།
- bag yod pa
- apramāda
This denotes a type of awareness of the most seemingly insignificant aspects of practical life, an awareness derived as a consequence of the highest realization of the ultimate nature of reality. As it is stated in the Anavataptanāgarājaparipṛcchāsūtra (Toh 156): “He who realizes voidness, that person is consciously aware.” “Ultimate realization,” far from obliterating the relative world, brings it into highly specific, albeit dreamlike, focus.
One of the main aspects of mindfulness as broadly construed, heedfulness indicates stable introspective awareness and guarding the mind against negative thoughts and emotions while fostering positive or virtuous states of mind. As explained in The Questions of the Nāga King Anavatapta, its more fundamental meaning is retaining an abiding awareness of the true nature of all phenomena through the correct understanding of dependent origination.
