Guest Lectures for Buddhist Arts of Ministry and Leadership Course at Harvard Divinity School Available Online

by Danny Fisher

In looking online for more information about Harvard Divinity School professors Janet Gyatso and Cheryl Giles (who I’ll be presenting an interview with next month), I discovered that videos of the guest lectures for their course “Buddhist Arts of Ministry and Leadership” are available online at the HDS website. Check them out:

Buddhist Arts of Ministry and Leadership: A Buddhist Perspective on Care of the Dying (March 2007) with Roshi Joan Halifax

Buddhist Arts of Ministry and Leadership: Enlightening the Emotions (November 2006) with Acharya John Rockwell

Buddhist Arts of Ministry and Leadership (October 2006) with Roshi Bernie GlassmanAlso available on the HDS Events page are the following interesting-sounding presentations:

When Worlds Collide: The Study of Religion in an Age of Science: Buddhism and Science: Tibetan and Zen Buddhist Perspectives (April 2007) with Georges B. Dreyfus and Eshin Nishimura and a Q&A moderated by Donald K. Swearer

The Buddhist Meditative Askesis: Probing the Visionary Experience (April 2004) with Gananath Obeyesekere

Hi, Danny. Excellent video opportunity for Dharma exploring. I love the work of Joan Halifax.

Been doing a collaborative (426 page,$30) book’s manuscript fund-raiser for Bosath Children’s International Foundation which helps with the education of poor Sri Lanka children.It was started by Bhante as you know, especially to help the children after the tsunami. Under my profile in the Buddhist Ministers, I include a link which accesses some pieces in this book called Intimate Meanderings. If of interest check it out.

Luckily we’ve almost sold out and we’re fortunate together to give around $1,000 to Bosath, from the sale of the book at $30 ea (all to go to Bosath). Rev. Sam Haycraft has a wonderful piece in the manuscript, as do Dr. Moy and Joyce Sin and a variety of writers besides myself. Rev. Sean Thompson was very encouraging to me, as well as the English group to help me realize this project. Thanks again, Danny, and many blessing to the ministers. It’s so exciting to hear what the ministers are into and how they are bringing Buddha to every day life and to serve people. Thanks for your inspiration. tu hermano, Morgan
