Young Buddhists & Non-Buddhists

For A Healthy & Compassionate Society

ONE BUDDHA IS NOT ENOUGH!

Wake Up Easter Retreat in Germany

European Institute of Applied Buddhism
1st-6th of April 2010

"Recently, I had the idea to build up a youth group, who

applies the teachings and practice of the Buddha into their
daily lives to cultivate the beauty and virtue within
themselves in order to build up a healthy society. Nowadays
there are so many youth groups who are active in helping
the society, i.e. reducing famine and poverty, fighting for
social justice, stopping global warming, but there is not a
youth group yet who make life more beautiful through an
ethical and spiritual aspiration.

Young people need an ideal in life, an ideal of love and

compassion. We have to live in such a way to maintain our
physical and mental health, to transform our suffering and
strong emotions such as violence, anger, despair and desire
and cultivate the seeds of understanding, love, joy and
happiness.

Therefore the foundation of this youth group's practice are

the 5 Mindfulness Trainings, a concrete expression and
practice of love and compassion. Practicing the 5 MTs,
suffering can be relieved and peace and happiness can be
possible in this world. If young people practice like that
they will be able to bring happiness to themselves and
their families, and with this ability they will have the
capacity to build up a healthy and compassionate society."
