Question
I would like to know how we can try to cultivate mindfulness while watching a film or reading a book. It seems very difficult to reconcile the two: reading actually requires me not to be fully aware of everything happening around me, otherwise reading becomes impossible! Your thoughts? Thank you!

Answer from Master Kosen
When we are fully conscious of one particular thing, we lose consciousness of something else. If we are conscious of the whole, we lose consciousness of the details.
