The Inner Holiday: Finding Calm and Spaciousness

A weekend seminar with Khenpo Drubgyür Tendar

Use the time before Christmas to find calm, return to what really matters, take a breath and a holiday within. This seminar invites you to pause, reflect and explore how you can work with your mind according to the Buddha’s teachings. In a warm, supportive atmosphere, we combine philosophical introduction with practical meditation – so that insight and experience can go hand in hand.

The essence of Buddhist teaching

We look at the basics of Buddhism and how we can use its wisdom for our lives. Khenpo Drubgyür Tendar introduces central Buddhist views in an accessible way and shows how they can be brought to life in everyday life.

Buddhism shows us ways to recognize that happiness does not come from the outside, but from the mind. When we understand how thoughts, emotions and perceptions interact, a new sense of freedom arises: more lightness, more inner strength – even in the midst of normal life.

Meditation and contemplation – tools for the heart and mind

Over three days of silence, contemplation and meditation, Khenpo Drubgyür Tendar offers practical tools to promote love, kindness and clarity. Guided exercises help you not only to hear the teachings, but also to test them in your own experience. In this way, kindness that creates space can become your natural atmosphere – and accompany you through the holidays and far beyond.

Who is the seminar for?

This seminar is open to everyone – for the curious with no prior knowledge as well as for people with meditation experience who want to deepen their knowledge of the basics. The content is structured in such a way that you will find a clear approach step by step.

Important: Individual sessions can also be attended separately, even if you do not attend the entire seminar. This allows you to create space for yourself when it is convenient for you.
