Abstract
This article examines some of the central Buddhist teachings as a contribution to a postcolonial reading. It understands Buddhism not as a religion but as a cognitive theory. From that standpoint, its non-theistic outlook, its emphasis on introspection, and the practice of mindfulness make this discipline a powerful tool for individual transformation. Thus, Buddhism can redefine any social or political praxis from the most intimate and personal to the most external reality. A key to this is to take full responsibility for the actions, words, and thoughts that give rise to the world we all share.
