After his psychology root he began a new educational direction towards the answering of life questions like: “Why is it that people experience similar situations in such different ways? What does that tell us about the nature of mind?” 〔 long term practitioner of the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages of Vajrayana Buddhism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Han-de%20Wit/75263389 )〕 After reading Chögyam Trungpa's ''Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism,'' it influenced him to travel to North America and expound on Trungpa's teachings.〔 His other influences included Nelson Mandela, Dag Hammerskjöld, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Etty Hillesum.〔 In De Wit's book ''De Verborgen Bloei'' (The Hidden Flowering) he asks many of the questions that have helped him through his spiritual path: :: "Why is it that one human being becomes wiser and gentler during his lifetime while another becomes more hard-hearted and shortsighted to the needs of others? What is it that causes some people to experience and radiate an increasing measure of joy in their lives while others become increasingly anxious and fearful? And why do some people develop the ability to cope with suffering? How is it that these two such divergent psychological developments can occur under similar circumstances, whether favorable or unfavorable? And finally, can we influence this development or does it lie it beyond our control?" 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Han F. De Wit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
