That gets framed in terms of paying attention non-judgmentally in your little office cubicle so that you can take a mindfulness pause and get back to work for a corporation that is maybe contributing to global warming. Or the use of mindfulness under the heading of \u00abmental fitness\u00bb in the context of the military. That\u2019s really quite problematic. In the Buddhist tradition, even if the notion of mindfulness is not, technically speaking, to some schools \u00abintrinsically wholesome,\u00bb it\u2019s against the background of the whole Buddhist tradition, where there\u2019s certain basic ethical considerations that are in place.
