Mindfulness in
Buddhism
Meant to allow one
• to tame the mind
• to be present in the moment
• to observe mental and physical phenomena as they happen
• to cultivate compassion
• to gain insight into the nature of reality, the self, and suffering--its cause and elimination
The Buddha taught followers to try to see things and ourselves for what they are—transitory and interrelated—in order to cease our desires for selfish gain and experience true fulfillment, i.e., nirvana.
