Concept and Reality

Content

The first 5 days the accent will be on the texts that have been recommen­ded below. Based on the third book and on my own experience, we will practise meditation daily and after the 10th December we can shift the accent from the intellectual to the experiential.

Daily there will be plenty of time for Dharma discussion as well.
