The meditation is non-denominational and not tied to any religious or philosophical doctrine. It is based on the teachings of the historical Buddha and Chan/Zen masters such as Hui-nenh (Huineng), Chao-Chou (Joshu), but primarily Lin-Chi (Rinzai), whose teachings have been received and continue into the 21st century. At the same time, the Empty Cloud lineage maintains an active dialogue with Christian contemplative traditions and contemporary sciences such as anthropology, psychology, neurobiology, and physics. It organizes congresses, symposia, and publishes thematic works. 📧 REGISTRATION [email protected] 📞 tel. 694463015 DONATIONS made to the Foundation on-site will be fully allocated to achieving the Foundation's statutory goals.
