        I think the author oversimplifies the Buddhist's notion of anatta, it's not the downright dismissal of an acting subject per se, rather the rejection of an essentialist/fixed conception of selfhood that is typically reified by our narratives (inner/external).

        Although I agree with the criticism directed against overhyped/marketized version of mindfulness that treats it as a magic wand to all life's problems.I don't view mindfulness as passive acceptance of the things that be (see engaged buddhism or the stoic opposition for instance)

        Minfulness=Sati in Pali, comes from the word "Sarati=to remember", when you meditate you don't stay in an unconscious "present moment" to learn that you don't exists, but the goal is to "see clearly" and learn something about stress, desire and attachment (4).

        I have an online essay on the topic. And anthropologist Julia Cassaniti's book discusses your point, as suggested by its title: *Remembering the Present: Mindfulness in Buddhist Asia*https://thesideview.co/articles/deconstructing-mindfulness/ …

        The author seems disturbed/ dissociated by the strange experience of transience of the self. Having the experience regularly doesn’t mean you can’t be evaluative afterwards, or pursue psychoanalytic, ethical, & political projects at the same time. It’s both/and, not either/or.

        It will be good to let people comment so to explain better and with quotes. The Dharma was not about metaphysic, but for the end of suffering/stress/unsatisfactoryness. Anatta is a strategy to detach from suffering ("what is impermanent is not WORTH to be considered my self") (1)

        An extract: "While you are doing a mental/verbal/bodily action, you should reflect on it: 'This action I am doing — is it leading to self-affliction, to the affliction of others, or to both? Is it an unskillful bodily action, with painful consequences, painful results?'" (3)

        But most important anatta or mindfulness doesn't preclude refleciton, but improves it. One of the most important sutta is about the importance of reflection about mental, verbal and bodily action, about the consequences and skillfullness of what we do: https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/mn/mn.061.than.html … (2)

        Excellent article!As a West/East spiritual philosopher, I too have issues with some of the core tenets of Buddhism, though - like Ms Sahanika Ratnayake I will not throw out the baby with the bath water & do keep a pretty regular meditation practice here in NYC for obvious reasons
