"Namu Amida Butsu. The nembutsu calls us to awaken to a life filled with wisdom and compassion.
This year's Summer Pacific Seminar will take up the topic of Buddhist activism. From temple programs to help the homeless to relief efforts for the victims of the earthquakes in Nepal, involvement in liberation movements in Asia and work to end discrimination, Buddhists continue to be actively engaged in the world.
Moreover, we will learn, the practice of nembutsu has much to offer to all of us: a Dharmic foundation and ethical framework for compassionate work, a sense of hope, responsibility and relentless self-scrutiny, a warning against self-righteousness, a clear understanding of agency, and a radical transformation of our consciousness."
