We had our first ITZI-talk with Dharmavidya in Belgium!

Dharmavidya and Jnanamati are now a week in Belgium and I have the luck to may live with them in the same house. It is just wonderful: we cook, eat, talk, sit in silence, laugh, do the dishes, practice, read, work on the laptop, listen to the birds and the wind, discuss and...we're happy and supportive to each other.

Beside this good basic, we went to visit two men, who can be important to start our activities here. Yesterday evening we had the first talk around 'Love § it's disappointment' and we were with 16 people, with 12 totally new. The mood was gentle and joyful, the talk was inspiring and the question-answer was interesting and intense. By this talk the first seeds are given for the grow of ITZI in Belgium! And today Dharmavidya and Jnanamati are to the Nederlands to meet a friend/lay-ordermember and I enjoy in silence the songs of the birds. On fryday there will be another talk in Louvain and on sunday in Gent, all in houses of sanghamembers. So, I'm a happy and grateful woman and you all may feel trust that it is all good with Dharmavidya and Jnanamati!

Warm wishes to all of you. Namo amida Bu
