]]> Comment on My Visit to the White House as a Participant in the Historic First Dharmic Religious Leaders Conference [UPDATED] by Bhikkhu Bodhi http://dannyfisher.org/2012/04/26/my-visit-to-the-white-house-as-a-participant-in-the-historic-first-dharmic-religious-leaders-conference/#comment-6836 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 00:36:50 +0000 http://dannyfisher.org/?p=14373#comment-6836 Thanks, Danny. Since, in my blogpost, I am representing an organization, I didn’t want to editorialize but just to provide general information. However, I did write to Bill Aiken to express my personal disappointment at the conference. I received thoughtful replies from Bill and Prof. Hebbar. Both expressed hope that future conferences will be more meaningful and more relevant to our concerns.
The representatives of the other religions present are all from India, mostly English educated, and work in the professions like medicine, engineering, and science. The Buddhists are from diverse countries, know English as a second language, and for the most part do not have the high professional profiles of the Indians.
The sudden end to the conference, before we got to the small breakout discussion groups, took me by surprise. I was expecting the small groups to be the most fruitful part of the gathering but at 2 pm we were suddenly told, “Conference over. Time to depart.”

I was very curious about how this event went. What topics were discussed? What was the format of the discussions or presentations? What type of public engagement was exemplified? Who made the Buddhist guest list? Did you know any of the other folks from the other Dharmic communities or were they all new? Do you feel like the diversity of American Buddhism was represented in terms of lay and ordained, practitioner and academic, Asian-American and “convert”? Was there any sense that the White House could be more involved in Dharma-based social action? How? Did you learn anything new? … that’s all for now.
