The term mindfulness is now used in a variety of contexts. It involves a conglomerate of practices, incorporates a history of programs, such as that of Jon Kabat Zinn, and is deeply intertwined with one name long before its trend-oriented use in guides, corporate contexts, and coaching: Thich Nath Nanh. The Buddhist monk, who among other things established a so-called Sangha, a mindfulness and meditation center in southern France under the name “Plum Village”, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize after he fought side by side with Martin Luther King for the end of apartheid. A struggle that was expressed, among other things, in slow walking meditations, step by step, mindful, decelerating movements amidst a demonstrating and angry crowd. Each step a breath, each step a pause, a demonstration of senseless violence.
