Bridges between Buddhist wisdom and modern society
We are a Buddhist association in Freiburg im Breisgau dedicated to the education and practice of meditation, philosophy and spiritual training. By promoting Buddhist values such as equanimity and tolerance, we want to contribute to greater harmony and more peaceful relationships, both individually and for society as a whole.

Current Formats and Events
How do thoughts and feelings arise? Why do we react to stress the way we do? Our programs combine Buddhist psychology, philosophy, and meditation. We learn to better understand and make sense of the causes and effects of our own experiences.
