Our group consists of women and men from very different backgrounds. Some of us feel connected to the Theravada tradition, others to Tibetan Buddhism. Accordingly, the teachers who have inspired us also come from different backgrounds. What is important to us is an approach that is open to different traditions while at the same time preserving the essence of Buddhist practice. We essentially practise Vipassana meditation with selected influences from Tibetan traditions.

These different influences also reflect our self-image: to be open to tried and tested ways that help us to train the mind and the qualities of the heart, regardless of which Buddhist tradition they come from.

Cost: voluntary donation for the maintenance of the centre, recommended between € 10 and € 5

Guest Group: Mantra Chanting

With: Rudi Görnet, musician and music therapist; Uli Adam, music therapist.
Contribution: Raumspende für das buddhistische Zentrum empfohlen von € 10 bis € 5
