Buddhism

buddyzm2Buddhism is a set of teachings on the nature of mind which come from historical Buddha Shakyamuni who lived and taught over 2550 years ago in Northern India. The goal of Buddhist practice is reaching the state of complete awakening of mind's potential – Enlightenment. Everyone can reach this state. For this reason Buddhism is called the religion of experience. There are many traditions, schools and styles of practice in Buddhism. The Diamond Way of the Karma Kagyu lineage is the most inspiring model of Buddhist teachings, ideal for independent and joyful people.

This insight has an increasing impact on our approach to life in general, we notice that everything that happens to us or to others is not personal, so we no longer feel like a target at which the whole world is aiming.
