Which ideas keep traditions alive in the 21st century? Modern mindfulness removes Buddhist framing, but says most of its wisdom is part of the practice. Yoga is often taught similarly. Are there pitfalls to reinventing teachings? I recently discussed this with Frank Jude Boccio, the author of Mindfulness Yoga, which integrates the practice of āsana with insight meditation.

Among other topics, our conversation covered:

* What mindfulness means (not “be here now”)

* How to think for oneself while removing illusions

* Which traditional concepts might not seem relevant

* Whether seeking liberation is a helpful objective

* Why Frank Jude left Thich Nhat Hanh’s order
