It wasn’t the Buddhist ideals that underpin mindfulness meditation that turned me off, it was the people who call themselves Buddhists that I had to meditate with. This is no condemnation, or even rejection, of the Buddhist cannon. I’ve studied and continue to study it pretty carefully and find much to positively influence my life and the world. I don’t find my practice of Zen meditation
I've learned to use mindfulness as a debugging tool.
When I'm angry or upset I've learned to pull out the mindfulness bag of tricks to see what's going on. I only get down on the floor when I'm in very bad shape. I don't think it'll help but it's the last tool in the bag.
I agree that most of the people talking about mindfulness are the worst, just the worst. It's why I don't talk about it with anyone.
Red Pine's Tao is my favorite by a country mile by the way.
George this is really good.
