If I take mind as a foundation of mindfulness, is that any different than mind as an object?

Hello Fat Daddy

Just to offer a different angle in reply. There isn't a mind. The idea of a mind is itself a mind-object (formation) because we are thinking of an object with properties which we call mind. So to answer your question, there is no difference between trying to take the mind as foundation or the mind as an object because (as you seem to be aware) we are just re-moulding an idea (formation).
