On 20 February 2021, New Acropolis Pune Branch hosted an online event “Let’s Live: Learning to Concentrate”. This was the second of four book reading sessions in the series called ‘Let’s Live the Timeless Treasures’
This session was based on excerpts from “Concentration & Inner Awakening – According to Tibetan Buddhism” a book authored by Fernand Schwarz.
The Author of the book suggests – “The goal of concentration is to eliminate all obstacles, which prevent us from becoming one with the object of our concentration…to make contact with (it’s) essence..though much effort may be required, it is necessary to free our minds from distraction and lack of focus.’
The speaker, referring to the book, emphasised a practical path to tame and work with the mind to reach higher goals. She shared some insights on how we can take steps towards self mastery, and learn to concentrate in order to live life with more meaning.
