Credit Buddhist origins while keeping practices secular. Another angle: mindfulness should cultivate benevolence and propriety, enriching daily rites and social harmony.
Credit Buddhist origins while keeping practices secular, and add that mindfulness should be a theatre of attention, polishing the soul without demanding sacred trappings.
