2020: THE YEAR OF DHAMMADecember 10th, 2019

I MEDITATE, THEREFORE I AMMay 27th, 2017
Before I started practicing meditation, I would never have thought that I could sit for two hours per day “doing nothing.” I was hyperactive, working from dawn to dusk like mad, connected to the Internet at all time. When could I find two hours of my precious time to stop all activity? Impossible. But one day, almost burnt out, I decided to do something for myself and I applied to sit in a 10-day Vipassana course. Not an easy decision. But probably the best one Ihave ever taken.
