Why We Struggle to Commit (and How to Change That)

Why We Struggle to Commit (and How to Change That)

Talk given by Padmasagara on 2026-01-31.

In this talk, Padmasagara reflects on commitment at its most practical level, moment by moment, here and now. Rather than focusing only on big ideals, we can ask ourselves: What are we turning towards right now? Where is our attention going, and how does this shape the direction of our lives?

Drawing on the Tibetan Wheel of Life, the talk explores how our habits, choices, and patterns of attention can either keep us stuck or open the way to freedom. Commitment is not a single decision, but something we renew again and again through the countless small moments of everyday life.

Enjoyed this talk? You are warmly invited to visit Buddhistisches Tor Berlin in Kreuzberg in person. Join us for meditation, Dharma talks, and courses that support practice in everyday life.
