Thursday Oct 31, 2019
Thursday Oct 31, 2019
In this Dharma talk, Fred teaches that the practice of mindfulness means being present to whatever is in front of us right now, including work. We want to be fully present in our work, rather than approaching it as a "necessary evil" or something to be done with. Work provides us with an opportunity to practice letting go of preferences and judgements and to be of service in whatever way is beneficial to others.
