Have you ever been asked the question: What are you doing with your life? We normally answer with an explanation of our goals as they relate to career, family, finances, and so forth. However, is there more to life than this? It is not uncommon to have a sense that something is missing, or that there are more important things in life that we haven’t connected to or experienced yet.
As we create our New Year’s resolutions (or maybe because we are skipping them altogether), we can consider what are meaningful activities and goals for ourself. We will learn how Buddhist meditation helps us to find our sense of purpose, and we will receive teachings on how to have a more meaningful life. Everyone is welcome as we discover methods for focusing on meaning and purpose in our lives.
