Head and heart

It’s not all about money! The reason we create, renovate and run Buddhist centres (and so the reason we are here in Germany promoting our renovation project) is to develop our human qualities like friendship, compassion, and fearlessness. And we don’t have to wait until it’s finished. The whole process helps us do this.

Working together on meaningful projects brings us closer together. Combined with meditation, it helps us see the qualities and potential in people.

Without a lot of philosophy we can just say: contributing to something bigger than oneself simply makes you feel good.

Of course good ideas are always welcome as well as good feelings. While we were looking for our new centre we collected best practices from all round the world, and we’re still learning. So if you have suggestions for how we could do any aspect of our project better, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
