The Mindfulness Solution | March 2, 2015
It is useful to distinguish between
mindfulness as a mental state on one hand and the unskillful pursuit of
this state on the other. Consider the case of a person plunging into the
jungle, in search of a beautiful and healing flower, he gets torn up by
thorns and battered by branches in the process. The problem is not that
the flower itself is harmful; what is harmful is only the means of
pursuing it.
