Join Prof. Martin Verhoeven of DRBU as he illuminates an approach to education that fosters a mind of wisdom and a heart of compassion.

Description:
In a world overflowing with information but lacking in wisdom, how do we come home to true understanding? We have become experts at looking outward—to our screens, to data, to external validation—while losing touch with our own innate clarity and compassion. This talk explores one solution to this challenge by answering the question: What is Buddhist education?

Join us for an evening with Professor Martin Verhoeven of Dharma Realm Buddhist University (DRBU) to discover an approach to education, as well as to life, centered not just on learning information but on awakening the inherent wisdom within each person. We will explore how this timeless tradition, based on the core pillars of morality, concentration, and wisdom, provides the tools for genuine self-knowledge and freedom. If you are seeking an anchor for humanity in the digital age or wondering how to discover a mind of wisdom and a heart of compassion for yourself, then this talk is for you.

A Q&A will follow the talk, so bring your inquiries and your curiosity.
