INTRO

This is the website of a informal, open Buddhist group in Groningen (the Netherlands).

We meet in person and online to meditate and do practices in the tradition of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism like Chenrezig and Guru Yoga — inspired by its lineage holder Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa.

A Boundless Heart is an standing invitation to come practice the way of the Buddha.

Dit is de website van een informele, open Boeddhistische groep in Groningen.

We ontmoeten elkaar in levende lijve en online om te mediteren en practices in de traditie van de Karma Kagyu school van het Tibetaans Boeddhisme te doen, zoals Chenrezig en Guru Yoga — geïnspireerd door haar liniehouder, Thaye Dorje, Zijne Heiligheid de 17de Gyalwa Karmapa.

A Boundless Heart is een staande uitnodiging om het pad van de Boeddha te komen beoefenen.

“If you superstitiously believe that the ordinary state is, in fact, ordinary, then consider this: 

pristine lotuses are born out of mud. 

This is not just a saying. 

It is a reality. 

That is exactly how we are.

Ordinary-like compositions of physical and mental mud have produced a pristine experience like this one: Us. Or you. Or me. What’s wrong with this? 

If there is anything wrong, it is our resistance to this natural way. 

We can’t separate this pristine wisdom from this mud. 

If we try, all we will get is either a lifeless statue or an idea of who we are.”

Thaye Dorje, HH the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa
