Dharma Encounters

This program brings together monastic and lay Dharma teachers from diverse Buddhist traditions to share teachings, practices, and perspectives. Through respectful listening and dialogue, we explore both shared foundations and the distinctive insights each traditions offers.

Understanding how Buddhism developed over time helps us see how its teachings have been transmitted, interpreted, and practiced across cultures. It allows us to appreciate differences without overlooking them, examine our assumptions, and consider how the Dharma can guide us toward compassion and wisdom in today’s world.
