Dharma and Distress: Buddhist Teachings that Support the Psychological Principles in a Mindfulness Program

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Buddhist Foundations of Mindfulness

Part of the book series: Mindfulness in Behavioral Health ((MIBH))

Abstract

Contemporary mindfulness has emerged as a secular and clinical application in the treatment of psychological distress. The development of mindfulness-based interventions has been presented as grounded primarily in Western psychological concepts of personal distress, emotional dysregulation, and stress-related issues. The origins of mindfulness as a Buddhist practice, informed by Buddhist principles and psychology, while acknowledged as an historical source, have not been directly connected to mindfulness-based interventions. This chapter endeavors to connect relevant and important Buddhist teachings to elements of secular/clinical mindfulness programs with the intention of providing a deeper understanding of the principles that guide the cultivation of mindfulness so that the secular/clinical approach will be enriched. Key teachings such as the Anapanasati and Satipatthana Suttas are explored in detail; subtle teachings from the Theravada and Mahayana/Zen traditions are included to connect principles of Buddhist thought with a mindfulness-based program curriculum.
