Busyness often causes us to put off doing what we know is good for us, and thus we end up wasting much of our life and feeling exhausted and unfulfilled. In this half day workshop, Gen Rabten will explain how Buddha's teachings and meditations can help us to overcome the habits of busyness and distraction that prevent us from living a peaceful and meaningful life. Suitable for everyone - beginners and experienced meditators.
