> Within DBT it is the capacity to pay attention, nonjudgmentally, to the present moment; about living in the moment, experiencing one's emotions and senses fully, yet with perspective. Fully… except for judgements. Because judgement would be bad? Would a real Buddha have a contradiction in his teaching? The only thing I really have an issue with is the misunderstanding that Gautama Buddha taught mindfulness. The meditation people teach and learn today is completely different from what he taught people. For one thing, he certainly did not teach people to remember the truth of goodness. He did not teach people to abandon or ignore right and wrong because that has a terrible effect on human society in the long run – even though you do not perceive it through your practice of meditation alone. That's why it's important to learn about teachings about enlightenment from a real enlightened being, not from someone who has not achieved it yet. Modern Buddhism exists in the state of people transmitting what they learned from others, with their own thoughts added.
