Description
Zoom URL: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/8099882717, Passcode: 195052. Rev. Michinori Maruta, a retired Rissho Kosei-kai minister, will continue teaching a course on Buddhism and the Middle Path. This is a recurring event on the last Thursday of every month. About this session:
We will explore the Buddhist doctrine of non-self, one of the central pillars of the Buddha Dharma. Through realizing non-self, we awaken to the ultimate nature of existence, where no enduring “I” can be found. This insight opens the path to true liberation, boundless compassion, and serene freedom.
I am Michinori Maruta, a member of the IARF Japan Chapter and Rissho Kosei-kai, a lay Buddhist movement in Japan. I am now retired from the headquarters of Rissho Kosei-kai after serving as the minister of RKK of Pacifica, CA, USA, and RKK Hakodate, Japan.My main activity is to hold Buddhist teaching sessions in Zoom and post various articles on the Buddha Dharma through SNS.I hope to contribute to bridging Theravada Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism as I believe that Shakyamuni Buddha preached only the Dharma, the truth. Also, I am delighted to be part of the Free Religion Institute, which I am convinced possesses great potential for human liberation and freedom.
