In this busy and fast-paced city life, we are bombarded with stress: stimuli, technology, work pressures, anger, frustration and other negative mind states. In this collaborative workshop led by Zen Low, the participants will learn how breath meditation as instructed by the Buddha can be a useful tool with dealing with stress from outside and within: how to understand its causes, and useful strategies in developing understanding and finding release from stress.

About the speaker: Zen Low discovered Buddhism while studying as a university student in New Zealand. Experiencing an immediate affinity to the Buddha’s teachings, he was amazed by the immense benefits of combined Buddhist meditation practice and ethics. Since then, he has attended several extended meditation retreats in Australia and abroad, and has organised meditation courses in Fiji and Australia. His primary interests include the early Buddhist texts and applying the Dhamma in daily life. Zen is also a Chartered Accountant and has assisted numerous Buddhist organisation boards with their financial and board enquiries.
