Unity in Duality
Unity in Duality (UD) is a practice path developed by Tarab Tulku Rinpoche based on Buddhist teachings. It is based on the insight into the interdependent nature of all that exists: Interactions between pairs of opposites (duality) shape the experience of reality (e.g. subject-object). But in this dichotomy reality forms a unity (Unity). The goal of UD is harmonization: in relationship, communication, education and mental health; the fields of application are manifold: personal, educational, therapeutic.
