Cultivating inner wealth
«Every human being seeks lasting happiness, free from suffering. Living in a complex and ever-changing society can cause confusion and lead to dissatisfaction. Over the past 2,500 years, Buddha’s teachings have encouraged people to cultivate their inner wealth by developing compassion and discernment.
Even today, the values conveyed by Buddhism help us to live our lives as human beings more meaningfully, by taking care of ourselves, others and the world. Thanks to the three aspects of practice – studying the Dharma, meditation and implementation in everyday life – we gain a better understanding of how we perceive our environment and our true nature.»
