IS THE RELIGIOUS GOAL THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS NOW?
A reader sent in this announcement from Tidings News:
"The Pursuit of Happiness: Christian & Buddhist Practices & Perspectives" is the title of a weekend workshop next month in Santa Barbara.
Presented by the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies, the Feb. 11-13 workshop will explore ways of cultivating genuine happiness as they are taught distinctly in Christianity and Buddhism, and then examine their common ground. "Each tradition has its own well-springs of insight, and we will see how they can be enriched by each other," said B. Alan Wallace, Ph.D, co-presenter with Benedictine Father Laurence Freeman.
The event will take place on Friday at the Unity Church in Santa Barbara, then move to La Casa de Maria, Montecito for the Saturday and Sunday portions.
