Seeking Fulfillment on the Buddhist Path
GSS | Let This Be Known
In this Guest Speaker Series “Let It Be Known,” Jim Pollard shares his personal insights on choosing to seek a more fulfilling life through a Buddhist path, and a few non-traditional learnings on traditional Shin Buddhist doctrine.
How and when do we become spiritual seekers? As Jim reveals in his talk, we become seekers when we find ourselves saddled with a gnawing sense of dissatisfaction, much like Siddhartha who became the historical Buddha. It is in such moments that we reach a pivotal crossroads, where Buddhist teachings become personal. Throughout his talk, Jim weaves the teachings of Shakyamuni and Shinran with reflections from his own spiritual path. Join us in discovering why the Shin path is ideal for today’s modern seeker in this thoughtful GSS.
