He congratulated all prospective graduates on their graduation and the continuation of the process of forming a new identity as a graduate of the Faculty of Psychology, Sanata Dharma University. In accordance with the theme of the Vita Contemplativa event, although there will be many new goals and milestones to aim for, prospective graduates are reminded not to forget to pay attention to themselves who are often immersed in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In a world obsessed with productivity, contemplative living reminds us that insight, clarity and peace often come not from movement, but from stillness.
