Funding of the Zendo Meditation Center on the River in Lucerne, Switzerland? – PETER GAMMA (Director & Physiologist), MEDITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE SWITZERLAND (MRIS)

Next to the Felsentor Retreat Zenter Rigi, we have another beautiful Meditation Retreat Center on the river in Lucerne:

Is Vanja Palmers really the Zen priest and millionaire who lives in retreat as a farmer on the mountain Rigi near Lucerne? Or is Vanja the Jack Cornfield of Switzerland? Or does he live Lucerne? Who knows this?

Also Lucerne is one of the most beautiful cities in Switzerland which as attractive for many tourists from around the world. And to build a meditation retreat center on the River in Lucerne is certainly a place which is very expensive to build a meditation retreat center there.

Was Vanja Palmers also the main funder of the Zendo Meditation in Lucerne, eventually together with the MIND foundation? Here we can see a picture taken inside the center.

Is the man on the picture Vanja Palmers? We can only see him from behind. On the Felsentor website we can read about Vanja Palmers:

«His ongoing commitment to animal welfare is just as important to Vanja as his passionate love of “being a farmer”, of farming that produces healthy, high-quality food in harmony with nature. The organic farm Frohmatte below the Felsentor and the zendo on the river in the city of Lucerne, which was opened in combination with a vegan restaurant in 2018, are an expression of this effort towards a peaceful diet that is healthy for our planet in the long term.
