Part 6 - Expanding Into New Frontiers from 'What Does Mindfulness Really Mean' by Bhikkhu Bodhi
.
Mindfulness has traveled a long way from its homeland in
northeast India. It has journeyed to the island of Sri Lanka, the
river basins of southeast Asia, the mountain monasteries of
China, Korea, and Japan, and the hermitages of the Himalayan
kingdoms. But the last lap of its journey is without parallel.
Today Buddhist meditation has been lifted from its traditional
setting in Buddhist doctrine and faith and transplanted in a
secularized culture bent on pragmatic results. Here it is finding
new accommodations in urban meditation centers and even in
busy hospitals, pain clinics, and treatment centers. Its teachers
and practitioners are more likely to wear street clothing or white
coats than ochre robes; they are more likely to hold degrees in
medicine and psychology than in Buddhist philosophy and
scripture. Meditation is being taught to help people obtain
release, not from the cycle of birth and death, but from the
strains of financial pressures, psychological disorders, and
stressful relationships.
