Feedback about the Buddhist Mind Science Course created by Hans & Marina:
“During the last seven months (in which we have been doing BMS) there has been more light in my life.”
–BMS participant
I would like to thank you for the course “Buddhist Mind Science,” which has been a gift to me. It offers practical suggestions to apply to everyday life and has helped me a lot. It has been very helpful, and also therapeutic for me. I am currently in a difficult process and in each session you give tools and remind me of things that are very useful for me. I feel really grateful to be able to attend this course, and I am impressed. Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge.
–BMS participant
I am now teaching the second BMS module to a small group. It is fun for me to see the resonance of many very, very new students. I find that this method of teaching followed by an exercise or a meditation, however brief, offers a greater depth of understanding than a constant flow of words. I am receiving positive feedback, even from students who have practiced for years, perhaps in other traditions.
