'There are a lot of people speaking about mindfulness but the risk is that it's taken too literally - to just "be mindful". Well, you could have a very mindful sniper and a mindful psychopath. It's true! A sniper needs to be so focused, never distracted, very calm, always bringing back his attention to the present moment. And non-judgmental - just kill people and no judgment. That could happen!'

- Matthieu Ricard, Buddhist monk and author
