Modern meditation is often presented as a solution to our mental and emotional problems. Although there is some merit to this claim, as seen in countless individual meditators and a growing body of scientific studies, meditation can be much more than just a temporary solution to feeling stressed out.
Most meditation techniques provide some method for bringing our attention and awareness into the present moment. What happens when we attend to the present moment? Is finding ease and spaciousness the goal?
With a mix of talk, meditation and time for Q&A, join Scott for an hour to explore how meditation can take us way beyond cures and solutions.
About the Presenter:
Scott Tusa is a mindfulness and Buddhist meditation teacher who has spent the last two decades exploring what it means to awaken the heart through the Buddhist path. Ordained by His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, he spent nine years as a Buddhist monk, with much of that time engaged in solitary meditation retreat and study in the United States, India, and Nepal. He teaches meditation and Buddhist psychology internationally in group and one-to-one settings, and supports Tsoknyi Rinpoche's Pundarika Sangha as a practice advisor. He trained in Buddhist philosophy and meditation with some of the greatest living masters since his early twenties, including Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Tsoknyi Rinpoche, and Tulku Sangag Rinpoche.
