A concentrated mind is in the here and now, calm and peaceful. With such a mind you see things as they really are and gain insights that you cannot get out of books.

To achieve this concentration, we practice samatha meditation on buddho, a traditional Theravāda Buddhist meditation system.

With this meditation system you develop numerous wholesome qualities such as patience, mindfulness, energy, perseverance and wisdom, and thus a more content and happy life.

Samatha meditation on buddho is practiced by a diverse group of people all over the Netherlands. Men and women, young and old, scientist and artist, convinced Buddhist and still sceptical. Everybody is welcome.

In the Netherlands the meditation is taught and guided by Herman Schreuder, who is himself a descipel of Ahba, a famous Burmese meditation master and abbot of a large Buddhist monastery in northern Thailand.
