註釋Thirty years ago, 'mindfulness' was a Buddhist principle mostly obscure to the West. Today, it is a popular cure-all for Americans' daily problems. The rise of mindfulness in America, Wilson argues, is a perfect example of how Buddhism enters new cultures and is domesticated: in each case, the new cultures take from Buddhism what they believe will relieve their specific distresses and concerns, and in the process create new forms of Buddhism adapted to their needs.
