LUST FOR LIFE

In the year group 'Lust for Life – Happiness Comes from Within' we practice with different heart qualities.

In addition to developing and cultivating wisdom, the  Buddhist practice is also about developing and cultivating compassion. Wisdom and compassion are, so to speak, the two wings of the practice.

It is necessary to develop both wings equally.

As long as these two are not in balance you will continue to fly in circles and not progress. But once wisdom and compassion are both developed, walking the spiritual path can get a huge 'boost'.

Using ten different qualities of the heart – intention, mindfulness, gratitude, courage, integrity, simplification, self-compassion, loving kindness, compassion and zest for life – you develop an openness of the heart that connects you with yourself, the people around you and the world.

The training is based on the book 'Awakening Joy – 10 steps to happiness' by the American Dhamma teacher James Baraz and co-author Shoshana Alexander.

“LIFE LUST! – HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN” is a training in Buddhist Psychology in general and in that of heart qualities in particular.

Together with a motivated group of like-minded people, you have the opportunity to immerse yourself for a year in this age-old Buddhist wisdom, which in 2025 has not lost any of its relevance, power and effectiveness.
