Admiration of others achievement without aversion is Mudhitha. Its one quality Lord Buddha identified as good and wholesome..other qialities are meththa karuna upekka ..collectively called sathara brhma viharana...

Real admiration is not accompanied by Loba, Dosa or Moha and it would be one of the Kusala cittas which might be with or without knowledge (pannya) depending on person's Pannya or Samma Deihti-- - All mental developments of living beings are included in 89 cittas (or 121 Cittas in broader classification)

[@ruparkyitin]

Mindfulness or Sati means = Samma Sati -- Sati cetasika is always Samma Sati. And in a right mindfulness, (Samma) Sati is accompanied . All beautiful or Mahakusala cittas are accompanied by Sati. In case of Siper mindfulness, the sniper mind is full of Akusala citta as intention is to kill .So, his citta(s) would be one type of Dosa Mula cittas as he would be worried that his shot might be missed or he got caught. If the sniper intended to fulfill his aim with satisfaction and he is happy for his successful act , Loba mula cittas might occur as well.

I would say the sniper effectively needs to be mindfull but because he doesnt have right intention he doesn"t develop right understanding, he develops sati, not samma sati. Because of that his mindfullness dwells very weak and doesn't last a long time. But it's not developed for nothing, if he ever has a change of heart the power of mindfullness that he has developped with wrong intention will become benefical. Sila is the basis, as much we can develop other factors without sila as much they will produce good fruits when sila will appear. But again, it's very limited as sila is the basis to get the right view and right understanding. Samadhi develops panna, panna develops samadhi, but sila has to be present.

[@ruparkyitin]

Faith means understanding of goodness of doing good-deeds or having good heart or caring mind -- These good heart persons' donation or their good thoughts minds or cittas are not accompanied by Loba, Dosa or Moha as well and it would be one of the Kusala cittas . However, Kusala cittas might not be associated knowledge or Pannya.

In my opinion, the sniper is program to pull the trigger. Like a state of mind of a sleep walker. There is no mindfulness!

[@ruparkyitin]

Yes, right. mindfulness means = Samma Sati -- The sniper mind is mind full with Akusala citta as intention is to kill .So, his citta(s) might be one type of Dosa Mula cittas.

There is right and wrong mindfulness. You can be mindful while aiming a gun....you’d have to be to hit the target. Its unwholesome, but that wasn’t his point it was that mindfulness alone is not sila or right view etc...it is just the ability to focus the mind as in samadhi

[@ImUpsetThatYouStoleMyUsername]

I don't believe a desire to eat ice cream to be necessarily unwholesome if it is done so mindfully, and in moderation. Especially if you are going out with friends and family to get some. Perhaps it is neither wholesome or unwholesome.

You wear a monk robe ! Why do you need to wear a Shirt ? It's not a Theravada uniform.

[@ruckyg3177]

You ask this same question over and over again. Why don't you use your common sense and ask yourself what would you wear during Winter if you lived in a county with 4 seasons. Same goes for this monk.
