While the <i>named topic</i> is the future of Buddhism, the <i>explicit purpose</i> of the conference is to explore with a wide diversity of participants the possibility and necessity of integrating the great spiritual traditions with the insights of the modern scientific, urban, secular world. The conference will use Buddhism as an explicit case study and context for grounding the challenge of evolving spliritualites in real life. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">The use of ourselves as experiment and action research in grounding spirituality is a path and a quest that has been familiar to us for years.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Many will be familiar with Wilbur's book <i>Integral Spirituality</i> and the website <a href="http://www.integrallife.com/">integrallife.com</a>. Here is the </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">conference</span> <span style="font-size: 14px;">website: </span><a href="http://fourthturningbuddhism.com/" style="font-size: 14px;">http://fourthturningbuddhism.com/</a><span style="font-size: 14px;"> and a short video of Ken Wilbur creating the context for the conference's work: </span><a href="http://fourthturningbuddhism.com/about/" style="font-size: 14px;">http://fourthturningbuddhism.com/about/</a><span style="font-size: 14px;">.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">I hope that many of you will consider being a part of this event. We've all been more or less deeply touched by Buddhist teachings and practices; we've been addressed by colleagues who have become practicing Buddhists; and if you're an evolving Christian in any way like me, you've been drawn to contemplative insight and practice that takes one deeper than the images and ideas that launched and carried us on our further journeys of expansion in the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, and beyond. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">We have much to add to this dialogue concerning the evolution of faith communities and their spiritual traditions. I've registered and begun to do my homework and personal orientation for the event.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Grace and peace to all.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">David Dunn</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span><div apple-content-edited="true">
