Here. But that said, there is plenty of flim flam out there. Like this:
For every Silicon Valley executive who takes a mindfulness workshop, there might well be someone less privileged — say, a renter in San Francisco who is being forced out of her apartment by Silicon Valley money buying up the city’s real estate — who thinks, “Well, if those are the people that Buddhism is appealing to and the places Buddhist teachers are doing their teaching, then I don’t think I have a place in that practice.” For every person who is convinced by the claims of scientific validity to try meditation, maybe there are others who think, “This sounds just too good to be true. In fact, it doesn’t sound true at all.” And in both cases, they would have good reason to be put off by Buddhist practice, reasons every bit as good as those put forth by the mindfulness movement to promote their form of stealth Buddhism. In fact, to us, their reasons might be better.
There also is timidity among leaders in the Buddhist community who see the folly of the mindfulness movement, but are reluctant to speak up. They express their doubts privately, but as yet there are few who have spoken out publicly. Maybe they don’t want to criticize their friends and colleagues. Maybe they are hoping some of the benefits of the mindfulness boom will come their way. Whatever the case, up to now, raising questions about the mindfulness movement — and a lot of questions are being raised — is happening mainly not by Buddhist leaders but by the rank-and-file community.
