Most of us want to be more present and engaged in our lives. All too often we face obstacles that get in our way. There is a way to both overcome the obstacles and be not just present, but fully present from moment to moment. It is a process you can learn. This workshop will teach you a process that leads not just to being more present in your life, but to finding contentment and happiness. The process is called “Piercing the Moment”. In this workshop you will learn the difference between awareness, mindfulness, and insight. We will explore and practice the process in detail so that you will leave with the ability to meet the goal: be more present, content, and happy.

This workshop is taught by the Venerable Deok Wun Sunim, a Buddhist monk fully ordained in the Hwa Yen tradition. Deok Wun Sunim was the founding teacher and former abbot of the Grand Rapids Buddhist Temple and Zen Center.  He left full time teaching several years ago and currently lives in western New York. He is an occasional guest teacher at the Dharma Studio.
