Find Your Flow: The Art of Concentration

You know that amazing feeling when you’re totally in the zone? When you’re so caught up in doing what you love that a team of wild horses couldn’t drag you away? You feel alive and fulfilled. Your heart is warm with bliss. That flow state is coming from your concentration.

Unfortunately, a lot of times, distraction makes it impossible to get into the groove. This is because a distracted mind is like a sputtering flame. When we try to use this feeble light to illuminate the beautiful wisdoms Buddha gives us, it’s like squinting in the dark. We can barely make out the shapes of love, compassion, let alone the true nature of reality.

But imagine if our concentration became a big, strong, bright, steady flame, illuminating all virtuous objects clearly. Imagine if we could just say, “Hey mind, let’s abide single-pointedly on love today,” and know without a doubt that it would happen. Imagine developing a concentration so strong that it could mix with Buddha’s deepest wisdoms and break the shackles of confusion and endless cycles that tie us down.

In this series, we’ll follow the guidance of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche and the great meditators of the past, who recommend meditating on the nature of the mind to improve concentration. And we’ll discover what Buddha meant when he said, “From concentration comes peace.”

Everyone is welcome!
