Beyond Boundaries: Unity in Diversity and Shared Suffering

Join us for a profound gathering of Buddhist teachers and leaders under the theme ‘Beyond Boundaries: Unity in Diversity and Shared Suffering.‘ Explore how the timeless wisdom of Buddhism guides us in breaking boundaries, fostering unity amidst diversity, and understanding the common threads of suffering that connect us all. Engage in meaningful discussions, gain fresh insights, and strengthen the bonds of our Buddhist community. 

This forum will feature several speakers who will share their unique experiences and insights, offering diverse perspectives on our theme. The shared lunch will offer a wonderful chance for participants to connect, creating an atmosphere of friendship and shared insight. Following this shared meal, Ven. Tenku will lead us through a deep conversation. This segment will not only address challenging topics but also equip participants with the skills needed to facilitate such meaningful discussions within their own temples.

Join us for this comprehensive experience to deepen your engagement with Buddhist teachings and connect with fellow practitioners in a supportive community setting.
