Mindfulness and the Spirit of Buddhist Meditation
Briefly

Sarah Shaw's The Spirit of Buddhist Meditation illuminates this ancient practice, reminding us of its capacity to foster tranquility and balance. 'When the mind is restless, it is time to develop the factor of awakening that is tranquility, the factor of awakening that is concentration, and the factor of awakening that is equanimity.' Mindfulness becomes a refuge, offering clarity amid life's chaos.
Shaw stresses it is no quick fix; it requires diligence and practice. For psychologists, distinguishing authentic practices from diluted adaptations is challenging for newcomers to mindfulness, which risks commodification.
