[Buddha-l] Mindfulness: Getting Its Share of Attention

[Joy Vriens]

Yes, throughout the history of religions we see how (new) mainstream 
religions borrow from other religions and integrate elements of it, 
after having removed the incompatible bits, if necessary adapting the 
general narrative framework. Mindfulness has now been approved by the 
new mainstream religion, capitalism. If religions have survived and 
still survive through following the money, then we shouldn't be too much 
surprised that the money decides what bits will be allowed to continue 
following it.
