Concentration Makes Us Happy! with Ven. René Feusi #198

It turns out that many of the greatest living Buddhist teachers are also some of the hardest to receive teachings from. Lacking ego, they have no need to promote themselves. This is the case with Scott's closest teacher, Venerable René Feusi. 

Out of a wish to maintain his solitude and focus on long-term students—and probably mostly out of humility—Venerable René has always declined Scott's invitations to appear on this podcast. But last year he gave a public talk at Tse Chen Ling Center in San Francisco on the benefits of concentrated awareness. We asked him if we could share it here, and he said yes!

So here’s Venerable René Feusi on how focused awareness can help us live with joy, not just in formal meditation, but while walking, sipping tea, listening to music, or even playing with your cat.
