Description

The InterDependence Project (IDP) brings a secular and highly accessible approach to studying and practicing Buddhist meditation, psychology, and philosophy. IDP is committed to bridging the gap between personal development and collective engagement in the world, combining the principles of mindfulness and interdependence with activism, arts, and media.

Buddhist meditation is about the clarity and compassion that come from seeing our mind as it is, on increasingly subtle levels of experience. Anyone can do it - all you need is patience and curiosity. All you have to do is bring your body and your mind, exactly as they are. The idea that everyone possesses the innate ability to work with their own mind is at the heart of Buddhist psychology.
