Dear Sir,

Mindfulness is the substance of a buddha.

Most of the time, we are lost in the past or carried away by future projects and concerns.

When we are mindful, touching deeply the present moment, we can see and listen deeply, and the fruits are always understanding, acceptance, love and the desire to relieve suffering and bring joy.

To me, mindfulness is very much like the Holy Spirit; both are agents of healing. When you have mindfulness, you have love and understanding, you see more deeply and you can heal the wounds in our own mind.

The Buddha was called the king of healers.

In the Bible, when someone touches Christ, he or she is healed. When you touch deep understanding and love, you are healed.

Jesus healed whatever He touched with the Holy Spirit in Him.
