et al. 2019

Objectives Mindfulness-based programs could support children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their parents to cope with autism spectrum symptoms and reduce comorbid mental health problems. In this study, we aimed to explore which change processes are involved in a mindfulness-based program for children with ASD and their parents (MYmind), according to a qualitative analysis of the families' experiences. Method Fourteen children aged 9-17 years and 31 parents (18 mothers, 11 fathers, 2 caring relatives) participated in an interview 2 to 5 months after the 9-week MYmind training, about their experiences with the training, experienced changes, and how mindfulness works for them. We used constructivist grounded theory methodology to develop a theory of the key change processes and their relations. Results Eight main change processes resulted from the analysis, namely connecting with peers, pausing, being aware, being in the here and now, letting be, determining a strategy, being and responding calm, and attuning to others. We proposed a model reflecting the interdependency and direction of these change processes. Conclusion The findings deepen our understanding of how multiple change processes are involved in the MYmind program for children with ASD and their parents. Theoretical and research implications are discussed.

“…In the vast majority of studies, the plurality of Kabat-Zinn's Buddhist influences receives only anecdotal attention. Despite the explicit and significant impact of Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna teachers (Husgafvel 2016, 102-104;Kabat-Zinn 2011, 291), there is still a persistent scholarly narrative which considers the Theravāda tradition and Theravāda-based 'neo-vipassanā movement' as the principal or exclusive source of Buddhist influences in MBSR and related MBPs (see Bodhi 2016;Braun 2013;Caring-Lobel 2016;Ditrich 2016;Dorjee 2010;Fronsdal 1998;Gethin 2011;Gilpin 2008;Huxter 2015;King 2016;Monteiro, Musten, and Compson 2015;Murphy 2016;Nilsson and Kazemi 2016;Olendzki 2014;Plank 2011;Purser and Milillo 2015;Rapgay and Bystrisky 2009;Samuel 2015Samuel , 2016Schlieter 2017;Sharf 2015;Stanley 2015;Sun 2014). This narrative emphasises the impact of those Theravāda Buddhist lineages which trace back from Insight Meditation Society (IMS) teachers and the German-born monk Nyanaponika Thera (1901Thera ( -1994 to the South Asian reformers Mahāsi Sayadaw (1904-1982, U Ba Khin (1899Khin ( -1971 and Ajahn Chah (1918) (see Husgafvel 2016, 101-102).…”

The ‘Universal Dharma Foundation’ of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction: Non-Duality and Mahāyāna Buddhist Influences in the Work of Jon Kabat-Zinn

The discussion on the Buddhist roots of contemporary mindfulness practices is dominated by a narrative which considers the Theravāda tradition and Theravādabased 'neo-vipassanā movement' as the principal source of Buddhist influences in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and related mindfulness-based programmes (MBPs). This Theravāda bias fails to acknowledge the significant Mahāyāna Buddhist influences that have informed the pioneering work of Jon Kabat-Zinn in the formation of the MBSR programme. In Kabat-Zinn's texts, the 'universal dharma foundation' of mindfulness practice is grounded in pan-Buddhist teachings on the origins and cessation of suffering. While MBSR methods derive from both Theravāda-based vipassanā and non-dual Mahāyāna approaches, the philosophical foundation of MBSR differs significantly from Theravāda views. Instead, the characteristic principles and insights of MBSR practice indicate significant similarities and historical continuities with contemporary Zen/Sŏn/Thiền and Tibetan Dzogchen teachings based on doctrinal developments within Indian and East Asian Mahāyāna Buddhism.

“…For this reason, evidence derived from RCTs is the dominant type of knowledge used for the development of guidelines that inform clinical decision-making and help governments as well as health insurers to allocate scarce resources (Wieringa et al 2018). The growing number of RCTs which demonstrate the benefits of mindfulness-based interventions has been a major impetus to integrate mindfulness in medicine, healthcare, education and other institutions (Kabat-Zinn 2019; Stanley 2015;Wilson 2015). Along these lines, a Silver Santé researcher elucidated:…”
