Renate Seifarth
Praxis im Alltag kann man gliedern in die drei Säulen, Großzügigkeit entfalten (dana), ethisch nicht verletzendes Verhalten auf allen Ebenen entwickeln (sila) und den Geist zu zähmen durch Sammlung, Achtsamkeit und Ausrichtung auf das Heilsame. Alle drei durchdringen einander. Tiefe Entwicklung ist ohne die anderen nicht möglich.
