456: Brother Minh Luong: Building a Practice Space Within
Update: 2024-10-22
Description
Brother Minh Luong was raised in Laguna Beach, California, and went to NYU, where he read a book that changed his life.
"I realized recently that there really is no separation between the practice and everything we do in our daily life. Either we're creating conditions for a practice space, like an internal practice space, or we're taking conditions away. And so if I can live in a calm and peaceful and serene way and do things that contribute to mindfulness and peace in my daily life, then I'll have a lot of success in my spiritual practice."
