About the Course

"Through the process of applying Zi Du Du Ren, I came to a much better understanding of a lot of things of life, and at the same time I made a lot of progress in my own life as well. 

When you Zi Du Du Ren, who is helping whom? Through helping others, I truly felt that I was the person getting help. Without them I probably wouldn’t have had the momentum, the driving force, to keep going for such a long time. I have found it a very big source to keep myself disciplined and motivated.” Yuan Tze, Level 1 Teacher Training, 2013 

This course is a series of interviews and discussions with different teachers, exploring how they are deepening their practice through sharing Ren Xue.

New discussions on different topics will be added on an ongoing basis.

Facilitated by Leslie van Gelder.
