Interfaith Compassion Call, Week 2
Virtual
About This Event
Heading into the third week of our Interfaith Compassion Pod, all of us around the globe are held together by so many unique expressions of universal values -- from the seva of Sikhism to chanting of Sufism to doctrine-less compassion of Atheism to Christianty's love thy enemies and Buddhism's Boddhisattva path. What started with our Pod Orientation call, and blossomed with our gathering last week, now invites us even deeper into our co-creative field!
This weekend, you are invited to join and co-create our sacred space!
Our speakers include Thupten Jinpa, founder of the Compassion Institute and the principal English translator to H.H. the Dalai Lama since 1985; Yuka Saionji Matsuura, Deputy Chairperson of Byakko Shinko Kai, a spiritual organization dedicated to world peace and raising the consciousness of humanity; Rev. Heng Sure, one of the senior-most Western Buddhist monks alive, who was also on the founding team of United Religions Initiative. And we welcome emcee Rev. Charles Gibbs, an Episcopal priest, who led the United Religions Initiative in 92 countries for 13 years, and singer Rachelle Jeanty, a former backup signer for Celine Dion.
To join the call, simply RSVP below and you'll be emailed the details and also find them listed on the screen. (We hope you can join the live call -- but in case the time doesn't work in your part of the world, you can still RSVP to receive the call recording.)
Thank you for co-creating such a sacred space of interfaith compassion!
