Please note the measures against Covid-19 / Corona

From our point of view on buddhist ethics Covid-19 is a risk for teachers and participants as well as for those present to contaminate others. We have therefore chosen to limit access to physical activities to those who can show themselves to be protected.  This according to the measures of the Dutch government (https://www.government.nl/topics/coronavirus-covid-19/covid-certificate).  

If you wish to join, make sure you can show:

  • the Corona check app with the QR code, or
  • the ‘yellow book’, filled in by the GGD or your general practitioner, or
  • proof of a PCR test with negative result which is not older than 36 hours, or
  • test yourself with a self test of good quality, with negative result, done no longer than 24 hours before the event.  Since the latter option is hard to show or prove, we will trust your personal statement on the matter.  In case of doubt a new self-test is required, provided by Dhammadipa.

We are aware of the fact that in this way proof of protection against Covid-19 does not include proof from ‘alternative’ or ‘non-regular’ medicine. We hope that this will be possible in the near future.  For questions and comments please e-mail info@dhammadipa.nl.
