  The minimalist approach to the practice of Right Mindfulness (becoming a non-judgemental observer) and practicing the four parts of mindfulness just to the extent necessary for the overcoming of covetousness and grief for the world). That means Basically overcoming greed and hatred. That is why you are harnessing mindfulness. Harnessed to a good purpose. And as we reduce the roots of greed and anger, we also diminish our confusion and delusion. So these things work back and forth. They decondition each other.

  All Buddhists meditate. All Buddhists are vegetarians. All Buddhists are pacifists. Buddhism is both a philosophy and a religion.  Buddhism is athiesitc.  Learning Dhamma from commentaries and Abhidhamma.  All spiritual traditions, Buddhism included, are different paths to the same mountaintop. Buddhism is pessimistic. Impermanence Has Only a Negative Connotation. Buddhism Is a Form of Nihilism. Buddhist Ethics Are Based on Moral Judgments of Good and Bad. Buddhist Ethics Are Based on Obedience to Laws. Buddhist Ethics Are Humanistic — Just Avoid Harming Others. Buddhist Practice Means Merely Doing a Ritual Not combining study and practice.
