show moreLike yoga and meditation before it, mindfulness seems to be having its moment in the spotlight. It has become the buzzword in everything from medicine, the military, and education, to sports, prisons, and therapy. This hype had reached the point where it is easy to lose sight of what it can actually offer.
When Buddha first taught mindfulness about 2600 years ago in North India, he likely had no idea how his teachings, which offered a vehicle for ending suffering and finding peace, would spread around the world in the twenty-first century. While the way of mindfulness is being taught and developed in therapy offices, hospitals, classrooms, and boardrooms may differ from the scope of his original intent, mindfulness practice today is transforming tens of millions of lives all over the world.
