THERE’S MORE TO LIFE
Modern living is fast-paced and enticing but we
will never find the inner peace through the
latest gadget or accessory. Buddhist meditation
focuses on giving up our attachments to these
everyday comforts and conveniences. Through
giving up the things we are attached to and
correcting our negative behaviour, we can
achieve a higher level of consciousness and a
greater understanding of the meaning of life.
Meditation, and following the Dhamma allows us
to look beyond ourselves to a greater existence.
