Just Released -- Great Keynote Address at FDSTL Confab Last Month

Many people are fans of this video of Pieper Toyama’s address to the Federated Dharma School Teachers League National Conference. Kenji Sensei even included references to the address and the concept of a Buddhist or spiritual kata in his talk.

After several weeks the organizers were able to post the video for wide distribution on YouTube.

For background, Toyama helped found the Pacific Buddhist Academy, now with students from elementary through high school age, devoted to providing meaninful education in a Shin Buddhist context.

Relatively free of doctrine and focusing on the most basic Buddhist values, Toyama provides a map for the future of our Dharma Schools as well as our ability to broaden our tradition.
