September: Living in the Moment

The present moment is where real happiness and peace of mind can be found.
When we’re present we see things more clearly, connect to our potential, and naturally connect more fully with others. The present is where our life is actually happening and where authentic growth and transformation begin.
But for many of us, it’s a place where we spend very little time! We’re more likely to be projecting into the future with worry and expectation, or caught up in the past in nostalgia or unhappy memories.
Buddha’s teachings on impermanence and the nature of the mind lead us into a direct engagement with the present moment. We learn to let go of distraction and projection and experience the true freedom of a calm and present mind.

Everyone welcome!
