Abstract

The article provides a short background to Buddhism in Sweden, focusing on observable trends among Buddhist groups before giving a descriptive account of how Buddhist meditational techniques, as taught in mindfulness-based therapies, have been integrated into the Swedish health care system. This trend of "non-religious" or "therapeutic" Buddhism seems to be of major importance when considering the impact Buddhism has had on the majority populations. Mindfulness-based therapies have been introduced by a handful of Swedish medical proponents (authors, doctors, educational institutions and individual therapists) who have facilitated their use within the health care system. Outside clinical settings, a wide range of institutions offer courses in mindfulness as a general life skill. Some of these also are aimed at medical professionals. The article asks whether mindfulness based therapies, viewed as knowledge capital, can have a bridging capacity or linking character, and ends with a discussion of the potential challenges involved when mindfulness is promoted as something that can be taught, and sold, as a commodity.
