shinto achieves mindfulness through precise repetition of ritual in a respectful manner.
stoicism achieves mindfulness through small daily task completion in a virtuous manner.
buddhism achieves mindfulness through meditation and escape from reality.
Islam achieves mindfulness by many memorizations and ritual prayers during every single day.

Bill Joslin’s Order:
1 Stoicism – 2 Shinto – 0 Buddism – -1 Christian – -2 Islam
1 engages reality purposefully
2 engage reality arbitrarily
0 avoid reality
-1 engages fantasy (excluding Christian mystic practices) or could be listed above 0 because it is also engaging community…. tough one
-2 vigorous assimilation of fantasy
