About the event
Tacoma Buddhist Temple is proud to present our 2026 Spring seminar as a panel discussion between three esteemed Scholars of Buddhism and religion from our very own town!
In this seminar we will be discussing a bit about the historical study of Buddhism in the academic world, and then discussing the future of Buddhism in this country and how scholars can help shape that future.
How can Buddhism guide us in this future of wars, political strife, and technological advances like A.I?
