Are you tired of feeling guilty for indulging in distracting activities during your free time? Do you find yourself constantly scrolling through your phone or binge-watching Netflix instead of doing something more productive? Fear not!

This is taken from a teaching given by Gen Demo at Kadampa Meditation Center DC and is based on the book How to Solve our Human Problems by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
