The teaching of Miss Universe includes reference to attention (manasi). The Miss Universe sutta says: "A bowl of oil filled to the brim is a term for mindfulness [operating fully] within the body". The giving attention to the bowl is not mindfulness because the oil in the bowl is itself mindfulness. Instead, the monk gives attention (manasi) to being mindful (sati).

Again, @9:42 "mind filling the body" is not mindfulness. Mindfulness means "recollection" (memory) rather than mind (consciousness). Mindfulness within/towards the body means the mind remembers to not generate wrong views about the body (such as the body is self or the body is worth desiring).
