Abstract: Most of research in communication are western centric. Even Asian scholars are also under the influence of western centric theories of communication rather than finding their own traditional philosophical knowledge roots. There is a debate on de-westernizing of communication theories. However, we cannot keep western theories away from us but balancing of East and West is acceptable for the development of Asian research and scholarship. It is important to free oneself from colonial-mindset of the scholars. This paper examines an Asian approach to communication arguing for new thinking in social science theory with input from Asia. This new approach can be called Mindful Communication. This Mindful communication is based on Buddhist phenomenology implicit in Theravada Buddhism.
