FDSTL to Host ‘Living Nembutsu’ Seminar

The Federation of Dharma School Teachers’ League (FDSTL) Education Committee is hosting an Oct. 26 online seminar featuring author Jeff Wilson, who will speak about how Shinran Shonin’s teachings offer profound insights and practical guidance for today’s world. 


The seminar will be held at 10 a.m. (PST) and will be on Zoom. Please register at: https://forms.gle/gHW6eenfyTXRhuqs5

Wilson, author of ““Living Nembutsu: Applying Shinran's Radically Engaged Buddhism in Life and Society," will cover such topics as queerness, age of the refugee, and climate change. 


He will explore how Shinran’s philosophy, which champions the experiences of marginalized and oppressed communities, can be a beacon of hope and action in addressing contemporary issues.


The seminar will also feature a minister-led discussion with Wilson and an interactive question-and-answer session, and a small group discussion involving other teachers to talk about ideas for lesson plans.
