Zen meditation for modern life.

Nearly 2,500 years ago, Buddha worried we had become too distracted — and that was before paper, let alone smartphones. Now many of our days are filled with convenient distractions that promise happiness while mostly delivering busyness and frustration. So many of us today live life in a hectic fog, working too much and noticing too little. When was the last time you gave something your undivided attention? 

There is a different way.

“If you can give your full attention to this moment, you can give your attention to the next moment—and the moment after that, and every moment after that, And giving your full attention to every moment, is what it means to be fully awake and fully alive.”
