Expanding into New Frontiers
In Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi's essay WhatDoes Mindfulness Really Mean (‘Investigating theDhamma: A Collection of Papers' BPS – 2015), he
describes the long and tortuous journey of
mindfulness, from its birth place in Northern India
2600 years ago, to Sri Lanka, to the mountain
monasteries in South East Asia and the hermitages in
the Himalayan Kingdom. Yet, the on‐going travel of
mindfulness into classrooms, corporate giants and
hospital clinics in the West ern world is unparalleled.
His analysis of the implications of the rapid spread of
this ancient and sacred practice is a tantalizing eye‐
opener.

Mindful MPs
Members of Parliament in the United
Kingdom created history when they appointed a
Mindfulness All-Party-Parliamentary Group
(MAPPG), mandated to research and inquire into
the benefits of mindfulness. After more than a
year of study and inquiry into on going research
globally, and documenting personal experiences
of mindfulness practitioners, the MAPPG has
compiled a report ‘Mindful Nation UK’ which is
now in the public domain.

Magic of eight weeks of mindfulness
Test subjects taking part in an 8-
week program of mindfulness meditation showed
results that astonished even the most
experienced neuroscientists at Harvard
University. The study was led by a Harvard-
affiliated team of researchers based at
Massachusetts General Hospital, and the team’s
MRI scans documented for the very first time in
medical history how meditation produced
massive changes inside the brain’s gray matter.
