Participation
In 2003 a group of practitioners of tai chi, qigong, yoga and meditation began to meet and practice to together in France. Before then, in England, some had already been meeting and practicing.
By 2005, the group had grown and began to meet regularly at the Dojo Zen de Lyon and other venues in France, particularly at Tourné in Occitanie for longer retreats.
Our primary interest has always been well being associated with authentic practices in taoist or buddhist traditions.
We have ben meeting since before 2024 to work exclusively on the stupa. these have been extraordinarily wonderful and informative meetings.
Adopting the words of the Venerable Lama Lodu rinpoche:
“The Buddha spoke of a supreme and powerful means to transform an environment into a holy space, a pure land. Building a stupa, the ultimate symbol of Buddha mind is the method Buddha set forth.
Great merit is accumulated by those who donate money, materials and effort toward building a stupa. Depending on ones motivation, any and every help given to such a project will create blessings for this and future lifetimes.”
If you would like to participate in any way, either by doing the association, receiving our newsletters, making a donation, working remotly from your own home or taking part in a stupa retreat, please contact Ram ram@tourne.eu
