2. Peter Gamma’s values
- Peter Gamma, Director of the Meditation Reserach Institute Switzerland (MRIS) is Member & Representative of the Roman Catholic Church.
- We have desribed different spiritual leaders in our journal such as Yogi, Bajan, Thích Ñhất Hạnh, Dalai Lama the 14., Deepak Chopra, Milarepa, Shantideva, Buddha, Moses, but also Jesus Christ.
- Peter Gamma himself grew up in a Roman Catholic family in Switzerland, then left the Catholic Church, but came back to it after he made very deep spiritual experiences by himself. In this journal such spiritual experiences of other spirital leaders are described.
- We have compared Buddhist and Sikh practices and centers around the world in our journal as well. But this journal is about secular meditation based on own personal experiences and scientific findings, and not about a believe in a specific believe system.
