Why we like it
Venerable Nick touches on real-world positive examples of monks and local workers managing work, and how the need to do everything fast can blur the lines for us between work and rest.
“Of course we can do things faster but what is the point?…We try to do things with intentions and that intention is to use every activity to train our minds.”
