la réduction du stress. Ses méthodes, fondées sur les techniques bouddhiques de la méditation et de la pleine conscience, obtiennent très vite des succès remarquables, tant auprès de grands malades dont les souffrances sont enfin apaisées qu'auprès de victimes de troubles psychiques qui reprennent goût à la vie.
