    Yeah, it seems Buddists are more focused on mindfulness and being fully in the moment, which is kind of the opposite of escapism. Also understanding duhkha, sometimes translated as unease due to “not having what one wants” or “having what one doesn’t want” and accepting it and living with it rather than striving to eliminate duhkha.

    …and of course Buddhists have been known to kill other Buddhists for being the wrong kind of Buddhists, so ymmv
