Going from Practical Buddhism to
Truth Level Buddhism

with guest speaker
Bishop Marvin Harada
Buddhist Churches of America

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17
9:00 a.m. to 11:30 am (Hawaii Standard Time)

The Buddha’s teaching is expressed at a deep and profound level of truth upon which Shinran Shonin and all of the Buddhist masters speak and write. However, the average person is looking for more of a practical approach to Buddhism. Will Buddhism help me to… live a happier life?…ease my stress and fears? …live a more meaningful life? We all start from that level, and with those questions. How can we go from the practical level to the truth level of the teachings? In this seminar we explore those two levels of the teachings and how we can move from the practical level to the truth level.

  • Reverend Kerry Kiyohara, Makawao Hongwanji
