user6921: Is mindfulness itself kamma ? does it create kamma ? is it one of the 50 types of kamma ?
(my teacher who is a monk told me mindfulness is kamma  - and like kamma its an accumulated thing )
Im asking cause if mindfulness is kamma than its accumlated - and if its accumlated it answers my "problem"  : 
Is there a value for a single moment of mindfulness (without others) ?

user10479: No
There are two types of karma , positive karma and negative karma.
Karma are acts done by body ,words and mind.
Mindfulness itself is not a karma since  it is not an act.
But it will reduce the negative karma that  you'd do unknowingly.because you are aware of your mind.
Thus eventually it will help you to achieve nirvana even though doesn't create karma.

user8157: Right mindfulness is an intentional (mental) act therefore it is kamma. However it falls under a 3rd type of kamma that is called the "kamma that ends kamma".  
AN 6.63 states the noble eightfold path is the kamma that ends kamma therefore right mindfulness falls within this.
