I do love ping pong. And I do see your point, Lion Sage. When I keep my a ention on the ball, I can return it so much be er. If I start thinking about dinner, I usually miss it. So, a ention is the thing I will practice next.When we fi rst start meditating, our awareness is bouncing through many areas of the mind. It’s like this ping pong ball, always bouncing. To control it, we call upon our willpower. It’s like learning to control the ping pong ball. It takes practice and a ention. What is a ention? A ention is the fi rst of the fi ve steps on the path. We keep awareness focused upon only one thing. e more a ention you have, the be er you can play, or meditate, or do just about anything. So, pay a ention Li le Mouse!
