Introduction

Muslim: Mindfulness is a relatively recent word It goes back to the 16th century but it was almost entirely neglected Until about 1965 And from then on you see this rise So if you look online you can see usage. One of the most interesting things about the modern concept of mindfulness It's actually what we would call vikurunafs Like you're doing remembrance of yourself so where does this term come from? Well it came from Buddhism because the Buddha who I actually wrote an article in a book on Buddhism in Islam A lot of people don't know this but the Afranis were actually great Buddhists and Afghanistan was one of the major Buddhist centers in the pre-modern world.
