SEARCHING – VEN. THAY THANH

Searching:

In Southern Shores, NC in September 2016, Ven. Chuc Thanh observed that “We are always chasing something instead of just living in the moment.”  In a return to the topic in 2018 he shared that “When we stop searching, we will be free. The practice helps us to stop searching, to live in the moment, to be free.”

How do these ideas rest with living our lives as we pursue goals in education, livelihood, relationships, etc.?  Does the practice of Buddhism fit into our daily life activities?
