-"Mindfulness" is defined in a Buddhist canon as "awareness; knowledge whether something is beneficial or not; considering again a word that had been heard, a sign that had been seen, and words that had been read and written."
- The right mindfulness, one of the eight constituents of the path leading to Nirvana, means that one should be mindful of the Three Noble Jewels (The Buddha, The Dharma and The Sangha), the karma, the merit-making, and so on. Or in a way, one should be mindful of each of his or her consecutive activities like eating, drinking, walking, and so on (*sleeping not included). Moreover, one should be mindful of the Three Marks of Existence, and the Four Noble Truths, the essence of the Buddha's teachings. Also, one should bear in mind that: "Nothing is permanent in this world(/universe)." "Everything in the world(/universe) is merely the result of the cause." (as taught by the Buddha) etc. One should also be mindful of keeping greed, anger, delusion, jealousy, heresy, pride, and so on, away from his or her own continuum.
- The Buddha also preached things like: "Mindlessness is the cause of death." "Mindfulness can lead one to Nirvana."
- In fact, the Buddha had taught us to be mindful of everything by preaching about 'mindfulness' for 1792 times in various ways during his 45 years of Buddha-hood.
By considering this, we can imagine how right mindfulness is valuable, noble and vital to us, because it can lead us to the Nirvana, a state of freedom from all kinds of suffering which can only be attained from the Buddha's teachings.

Why has the symbol of the eight fold path been chosen?
The Eightfold path in Buddhism (right understanding,right intention,right mindfulness, right views, right actions, right livelihood, right effort, right speech, right concentration) was chosen because the Buddha was an itinerant monk and considered his own enlightenment a journey of sorts. The metaphor of a path as a way of progressing toward personal self-improvement easily lends itself to this concept. The path is eight-fold because, rather than being a serial progression, each aspect relates to the others as one moves towards understanding.
