What is the meaning of Noting, Labelling and Knowing? What are the benefits of noting?
Noting means paying proper attention so that the mind can be concentrated on the object of meditation. The mind will also be aware of their true nature. Let me explain further.
If you do not note, kilesas will enter your mind. In other words, your mind will scatter and become unclean and polluted. However, if you do note, your mind will not scatter. You will be exercising some form of control or mastery over it.
Therefore, through the act of noting, you will be able to prevent the defilements from entering and polluting your mind.
