The key to radically reforming the self and bringing growth to the mind lies in the body. Taigu Dojo is a fusion between lecture and workshop to practice this method of reform, and to learn Buddha’s teachings not with the mind, but with the body. At Taigu Dojo you will also find community with others who are taking initiative to bettering their businesses, communities and their lifestyle as a whole. This cannot be taught online, so please come and experience for yourself the Buddhism that can only be learnt in a live dojo.
