June 22nd 2022 - Rev. Hagami on the Essence of Buddhism
Channel: Tendai Buddhist Institute
Date: 2022-08-23

One of the ways to initiate a meaningful conversation with a Buddhist teacher is by asking the following questions: “Which sutra passage do you think best captures the essence of Buddhism?”, “Why so?”, and “How can we embody that essence?” This talk will explore these and other questions through the perspective of a prominent Buddhist teacher and Tendai Priest, Rev. Shōchō Hagami (1903–1989). We will also consider if and how his view on Buddhism’s essence can be an answer to some of the social, existential, and normative issues of our time. Presented by Dr. Job Y. Jindo.
