Building the home of the heart, with Boaz Feldman and Sophie Boyer, in Gretz
This week of practice will be based on the 4 qualities of the heart - benevolence, compassion, altruistic joy and equanimity (the 4 Brahmas-viharas), as well as 2 additional qualities: generosity and assertiveness.

Dāna : la pratique du don
Selon la tradition Dana telle qu'elle existe en Asie du Sud-Est, les enseignements sont considérés comme trop précieux pour être vendus et les enseignements de qualité restent ainsi accessibles à tous. Les enseignants dépendent pour leur subsistance des dons offerts gratuitement à la fin du cours.
