Mindfulness starts to reveal to us that it's not so much what's happening as how we are relating to what's happening.

Mindfulness reveals the impermanent, the unreliable or the unsatisfactory and the impersonal.

Buddhism says, if you are mindful, if you practice, if you follow this path, you can come to a place of non suffering. Freedom, from the definition of Nirvana of enlightenment, is that you can be free from suffering in this lifetime.
