Mindfulness is Buddhist, as Ajahn Brahm explains here: https://youtu.be/fq-nVhcn-dM?t=80 https://youtu.be/fq-nVhcn-dM?t=80 >I did hear recently [someone saying] that Buddhism doesn't own mindfulness, giving a simile, that just because Newton discovered the law of gravity, it doesn't mean that it's English. [..] not a very clever simile. Yes, Isaac Newton was English, but he was a scientist. So the law of gravity is science, in the same way that mindfulness is Buddhist. If you want attention and acceptance training then call it that. If you want mindfulness then see it in the proper perspective, which is not ripped out of its context to serve consumerist/capitalistic goals.
