A dharma message by Rev. Kenji Akahoshi at the Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple on July 31, 2011 following up on his previous day’s workshop, “If life is a nightmare, wake up to a dream – Resolving life issues utilizing Buddhist principles.” Dr. Akahoshi is a graduate of IBS and received his Tokudo ordination in Kyoto. He has been conducting annual retreats and workshops since 1998 in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and Spokane, WA. His masters degree in transpersonal (spiritual) psychology prepared him to emphasize the experiences of the participants to assure the relevancy of the workshops.
