DESCRIPTION
Updating Wisdom Stories for the 21st Century is a workshop designed to renew and to carry forward the wisdom inherent in every religious tradition and spiritual discipline. We will teach skills required to identify, develop and update stories of wisdom, inter-religious harmony and healing rifts among peoples. Through a process of story-listening and storytelling in the unique interfaith environment of the Parliament, we will renew and thus preserve the wisdom of each tradition and, at the same time, create the potential for participants to foster their understanding of other traditions.
Rev. Heng Sure, Ph.D., an American Buddhist monk, serves as Director of the Berkeley Buddhist Monastery and teaches on the staff at the Institute for World Religions. He is a member of the Global Council of the United Religions Initiative, and a founding member of the Bridge CC of the URI.
