Bringing Mindfulness More Into Our Lives (Dharmabytes Podcast)

By Centre Team on Thu, 27 Nov, 2025 - 14:15

In this talk Vadanya explores how paying attention to reality - rather than mental or media noise - can bring our life alive and give us a vivid experience of beauty.

Excerpted from the talk The Aware Mind Is the Happy Mind given at Sheffield Buddhist Centre, 2025.
