The Path of the Buddha

Annual 21 Day Retreat held in Plum Village, France

All great spiritual traditions of the world have teachings and practices to offer toward a Global Ethic.  This Ethic can be presented in the kind of language that non-sectarian so that everyone, including atheists and agonistics, could accept.  Buddhism with its training to obtain insight, right view, its practice of true love (the 4 brahnasvitara) and of the precepts  (mindfulness trainings)  have much to offer to formulation of a Global Ethic, relevant to our time, when there are so much division, hatred, violence and despair, and when the planet earth is in peril. 
This 21 day courses and retreat offered by the European Institute of Applied Buddhism will take place in its Plum Village Campus, France, from June  1st to June 21st, 2009 in the beautiful setting of Upper Hamlet, Lower Hamlet, New Hamlet and Son Ha, etc...
This Global Ethic will be considered as the spiritual dimension in our life.  Without bringing in our life a spiritual dimension, it will not be possible to assure the survival of our planet.  If each citizen of the Earth is guided by the light of this Global Ethic, our political & economic leaders will abide by the spirit of interbeing and compassion, then everything will be possible again.
