Through a Buddhist lens, weโ€™ll reflect on the root causes of these challenges and discover how timeless wisdom can help us navigate a tech-driven world with clarity, balance, and purpose.

๐Ÿ™โœจ Big thanks to everyone who joined our session on Buddhism & Technology! โœจ๐Ÿ“ฑ

From endless scrolling to constant notifications, we explored how tech shapes our habits, attention, and even our sense of self. More importantly, we learned how Buddhist wisdom can help us break cycles of distraction, use technology mindfully, and not let algorithms control our peace of mind. ๐ŸŒฟ

Hope you left with fresh insights, a few practical takeaways, and maybe the courage to put your phone down for more than 5 minutes.
Until next time!
