This is my opinion, but I find it to be a load of crap, like all of Buddhism, because it teaches to find bliss in the present moment and shut off all responsibility. Instead of working to solve problems, it teaches people that it's ok to sit on your ass like the great Buddha and do nothing, as long as it feels good. This can lead to mental illness.

Kind of missed the message there, then. It's not meant to be a solution-focused tool, rather, it's an assist to de-escalating stress to get to a sane mental state where you feel in control and are able to more effectively accomplish things and meet your responsibilities head-on.

You should also take any sort of spirituality or religion with a grain of salt, fam.
