The
Dhammapada is a pre-Christian treatise on Truth, and the most
famous of all Buddhist texts. The Dhammapada echoes the teaching
of Dharmaöone of the central ideas in Hindu and Buddhist theologyöimparted
by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. Yet how is the written word
of the Dhammapada lived out in the daily lives of Buddhists, a
religion perceived by western religious traditions to be focused
on meditiation and inner consciousness? Robert McDermott, President
of the California Institute of Integral Studies, will moderate
a discussion with Rina Sircar and Anne Teich, both founding members
of the Taungpulu Kaba-Aye Dhamma Center, for the fourth installment
of Spirit and Word: Sacred Texts for Spiritual Formation.
