Wisdom in Action - How can we cultivate wisdom and compassion both in ourselves and in the society around us? How are personal and social transformation connected—not just in theory, but in a real practice?
Exploring these issues from a profoundly Buddhist perspective, the conference tried to gain insight into how personal views and personal actions are tied into collective views and collective actions. The hope was to inspire and provoke the attendees to come away not just with new ideas, but also to deepen our resolves to put into practice the attitudes and actions that can genuinely transform the world.
Conference included 2 days of talks, panel discussion, and meditation. Some sample topics included "Working With Inmates During Their Post-Release Process Back Into the Community" with Ven. Bhante Suhita, “Socially Engaged Buddhist Women” with Karma Lekshe Tsomo, “Education and Social Change” with DM Yin and Jin Shr, "The Reluctant Bodhisattva" with Rev. Kusala, and "Lay Buddhists Responsibility to Local Community" with Dr. Ron Epstein.
