Jag håller med. Synen på buddhismen som någon sorts mysig flummarreligion där allt är tillåtet och man kan tro på vad som helst är mest västerländska fantasier.
Buddhismen religiösa delar är väl inte det som intresserar folk utan de är deras sätt att meditera med mera.
Mindfulness is a technique extracted from Buddhism where one tries to notice present thoughts, feeling and sensations without judgement. The aim is to create a state of “bare awareness”
"There are many forms of meditation and many ideas about what meditation is. While different spiritual paths may associate meditation with contemplation, prayer or other practices, Buddhist meditation is generally associated with mindfulness and awareness. Indeed, although there are a lot more forms of Buddhist meditation than you might think, they all have mindfulness as their common denominator.
Buddhist meditation practices help meditators cultivate core values of awareness, tranquility and insight. According to Buddhist philosophy, when we understand our mind and emotions better, we can work with our actions and reactions in a way that leads to well-being and happiness – our own and the well-being of those around us. And the more we appreciate the importance of others’ well-being and happiness, the more we experience compassion and love. Mindfulness is the key."
Mkt av dagens kbt och terapi är baserad på detta. För att det får folk att må bättre helt enkelt.
