Publication at First Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

František Drtikol was a photographer, painter, Patriarch of Czech Buddhism, but above all a man - a man who greatly influenced the spirituality of subsequent generations. The teachings of Fráni Drtikol are the signs of his meditation practice, as well as the now traditional community of people that united and unites the personality of František Drtikol and his meditation practice based on philosophical, but not religious, Buddhism.

Its source, however, is primarily yoga and hermetism, as found by studying period materials.
