Our dependence on technology is reaching dire levels. Our brains are being outsourced to our smartphones.

“We can’t all live like great yogis in a cave, so we have to be realistic and see what we can do. But if we can exercise just a little discipline, for sure there will be benefits. I’ve seen many people change—people who have jobs, family lives, commitments—but over time. It takes time to change; it’s not instant, but yes, I’ve seen people change. It’s simply a matter of putting in consistent effort and, throughout the day, working with and dealing with the emotions and other difficulties we may be facing. . . I think it’s important to have a vast vision.” - Geshe Tenzin Namdak

Meditation is the tool used in Buddhism to generate awareness, insight, compassion, balance and inner peace. It is sometimes described as a “mental training resulting in a calm and luminous mind.” Tibetan Buddhist monk Sonam Rinchen explains: “Meditation is intended to help us gain control of the mind, to free it from being dominated by disturbing emotions and to increase its familiarity with positive feelings like love and compassion. Since no one meditation style could appeal to all persons, Buddhism offers a wide range of meditation techniques including: chanting, mantra, visualization, recitation, silence, vipasanna, zen, metta, inquiry and more. - VMP
