A return to the old days is no longer possible. However, let us consider the past: every past was in the middle of its respective present, <em>in the here and now<\/em>. Everyone was more or less disoriented in the midst of it.<br \/>Buddhism provides suggestions and pointers on what one should set as a goal and how one can build a good life with it. In Zen especially, one finds an ever-renewing strength in the body and in consciousness.<br \/>In this course, the necessity and advantages of Buddhism in our time are explained in a generally understandable way based on Comparative Philosophy. This will be followed by a communicative exchange for questions, additions, and suggestions from the participants.      <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3128 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bodhidharmazendo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Univ.Doz_.Dr_.Hisaki_Hashi.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bodhidharmazendo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Univ.Doz_.Dr_.Hisaki_Hashi.jpg 280w, https:\/\/bodhidharmazendo.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Univ.Doz_.Dr_.Hisaki_Hashi-204x300.jpg 204w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\"><\/p>\n<p>Photo: Univ.-Doz.
