Date: Tuesday, October 3
Time: 5:30 - 6:30pm PDT
Where: This is a free online event!

​Join Dharma Realm Buddhist University for an enlightening conversation with Nipun Mehta, the inspired founder of ServiceSpace. As we navigate through the age of Artificial Intelligence, we're faced with unique challenges and opportunities that require us to contemplate and lean into our deep-seated values of compassion, wisdom, and relationships. In this engaging dialogue, we'll explore how these ancient virtues can guide our interactions with modern technology and drive meaningful connections in a rapidly evolving world.
This event will be a co-created space where each participant is both a consumer and a producer, enriching the conversation with their own intelligence. Whether you're looking to find ways to infuse your encounters with AI with wisdom and compassion, or seeking inspiration to make a difference in the world through small acts of kindness, this dialogue promises to be a thought-provoking experience.
We hope to see you there! (There'll be surprises).

This course will consider a wide range of virtues emphasized in different cultures, and encourage participants to select a few and experiment with their actual practice. For example, the cultivation of patience has always been central to Buddhist training. How do such virtues support both basic and advanced contemplative practice? How do they contribute to having a meaningful life? And what are the obstacles and challenges to such cultivation nowadays? Consideration of these issues will be based both on participants’ personal investigations and traditional perspectives.

Dates: Weekly from September 20 through Dec 13, 2023.
