Abstract: : In our modern age, we are often too occupied with busy schedules of business appointments and customers, also family and friends. There are too many distractions that could fully occupy us and leave us without any time left to even to think about Buddhist path or practice. So many distractions form the biggest obstacle to practising Buddhism. From the Buddhist scriptures this article outlines examples of methods which can be easily practised in a busy lifestyle to resolve the modern distractions. Buddha had 84,000 teachings in order to satisfy the different needs of human beings. One can choose any methods that will lead closer to the wisdom of realizing the true nature of our existence. Finding a path through a genuine master is of paramount significance. In the end, there are multiple methods offered to the readers which are conducive to the twenty-first century path seekers.
