| Because mindfulness requires neither a "worship" of the Buddha nor
"conversion" to Buddhism, Samadhi encourages practitioners of other
traditions to consider mindfulness meditation as a potential enrichment
of their own spiritual practice and tradition. Listed below are sites
of interest. If you know of sites that highlight mindfulness meditation
in some way please send the web address or mailing address to our webmaster.
