Understand that distraction isn’t the harmless interruption we often assume but rather the primary obstacle to deeper spiritual practice. Learn how mindfulness maintains focus while alertness stands guard against wandering thoughts. Based on the book How to Understand the Mind by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
