just watched that clip again, there is zero disparaging Buddhism there.
most Buddhists say that mindfulness is shorn of any connection to Buddhism,
there is Christians who are trying to spread panic that mindfulness is stealth
Buddhism, there is Buddhists who complain that mindfulness is appropriation.
If anyone is stuck on disparaging it is you. You love to disparage all sorts of
good people when it serves absolutely no purpose and is even pointless,
destructive and does not help your goals.
TMers have every good reason to point of the valid and scientifically verified
differences between TM and Mindfulness which are very often muddled together in
popular media. Those differences have been validated and highlighted by highly
esteemed professionals like Dr Norman Rosenthal who have no vested interest in
TM teaching.
