To practice mindfulness and awareness of the illusion of inseparable appearance-emptiness of this heartless body as the Victor’s Body is the direct application of mindfulness to the body.

All phenomena are mind,
yet mind will not be found inside or outside.

To know them as random labels of mere names
is the application of mindfulness of phenomena.
