The dangers lie in the dilution of the tradition, so that it loses it's integrity and power. The intervention will only be as good as the teacher who delivers it, and their grasp and embodiment of the practice in their own lives and teaching practice. The benefits include the possibility of people in mainstream settings getting access to a tradition of practice that invites an understanding of one's interior world, to train one's minds in a useful direction, and to thereby radically transform one's relationship to oneself, one's problems and life - in ways which are liberating.

Over the past 30 years there has been an explosion of interest in the use of mindfulness programs in the fields of health, education, business and community development.
