Life

He was born in the third generation of Hamburg in the Wandsbek district . In a talk show with the NDR he made public for the first time: "I was a school failure".

In 1992 he founded the Magazin Verlag Hamburg, which today publishes ten regional magazines .

His social commitment includes, in particular, the awarding of the "Hamburger Social Oscar" , which is presented with numerous celebrities during the Hamburg autumn reception. The prize has been awarded to children and young people for their outstanding social commitment since 2009.

At the “Alstertal Summer Reception” , which Buss organized for the first time in 2011 with the support of ECE in Hamburg-Poppenbüttel , the North German Founder Prize was awarded.

Buss traveled to Myanmar several times and lived there as a Buddhist monk in the Thamanya monastery near the city of Hpa-an . This was headed by the monk Thamanya Sayadaw until 2003 ; he is considered the spiritual father of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi .

Numerous articles and lectures have been written about his teaching and studies of meditation and mindfulness; u. a. the series “Evenings of Silence”.
