My 2010 Vesak Day Talk (VIDEO)

As I previously reported, I recently had the honor of being a guest speaker at the Southern California University Buddhist Association’s 2010 Vesak Day Celebration at the University of California-Irvine campus on May 8th. The event is held each year to “commemorate, celebrate, and rejoice in the Buddhas birth, enlightenment, and nirvana.”  The title of my talk was “Benefit Beings!” and I’m delighted to report that it was videotaped (by none other than our first UWest M.Div. graduate and past interviewee, 1LT Rev. Somya Malasri).  Take a look below.
