From Geoffrey Hunt
I have taught meditation (free of charge) as a Buddhist chaplain in a UK university for 13 years. I have never witnessed an adverse incident. But in recent years I have predicted a backlash against what goes under the name of “mindfulness”. The Buddha distinguishes between “right mindfulness” and “wrong mindfulness”. Mindfulness is only one of the Buddha’s eight factors. Crash courses are certainly not useful. Mindfulness, like any intervention, isn’t immediately suitable for some individuals with certain life traumas or illnesses – at least not without special support.
