Many Christian commentators have been taken aback by the seemingly
unstoppable rise of the 'mindfulness revolution' that has occurred
over the past decade. But there are many Christians who worry that
mindfulness techniques constitute a covert import from Buddhism.
How far are Christians adopting Buddhist techniques, ideas and
ideologies? Do we risk squaring Buddhist ideology and approaches to
fit the Christian circle? Beginning with an exploration of the
practice of mindfulness in its Buddhist origins, Peter Tyler
reflects on the practical use of mindfulness, its place within the
Christian tradition of prayer, and its future within the Christian
tradition. Tyler argues that far from a foreign import mindfulness
is not only endemic but essential to the Christian understanding of
how the human person relates to the divine. Each chapter concludes
with practical exercises to help the reader in their understanding
of mindfulness in the Christian context.
