SUMMARY:The Bamboo Grove: "AI and Zen - Knowledge Meets Wisdom" with Venerable Shih Yingfa
DESCRIPTION:AI is everywhere now; just ask Siri. Artificial intelligence is becoming a key tool in a wide variety of arenas such as industry\, medicine\, finance\, and even spirituality. How can AI assist Zen and Buddhist practitioners without becoming a hindrance or a distraction? Venerable Shih Yingfa will take a look at what AI is and how it can affect the study and practice of Zen and Buddhism. We’ll even get a chance to ask a prominent AI its opinion about this. Join us for what could be a fascinating session of The Bamboo Grove. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84572838699?pwd=oz1ircIP1UE4vsmpUy2FbwYLp5rmLM.1 \nMeeting ID: 845 7283 8699     Passcode: 734492

SUMMARY:Bamboo Grove Presents "The Buddha: Awake or Woke?" With Venerable Shih Mingxing

SUMMARY:The Bamboo Grove Presents: "Zen And Critical Thinking" With Venerable Shih Yingfa On Zoom

SUMMARY:The Bamboo Grove: "Words & Letters Beyond Words & Letters\, Pt. 1" with Venerable Shih Mingxing

SUMMARY:The Bamboo Grove On Zoom: "Dior and the Dharma" With Venerable Shih Mingxing

SUMMARY:The Bamboo Grove Presents: "Buddhist Councils and Their Effect on the Tradition" with Venerable Shih Mingxing
DESCRIPTION:The Buddha was not a Buddhist. Buddhism as we know it today\, especially in the West\, was formed over two thousand years\, not in small part due to the efforts of its followers to convey the teachings of the Buddha accurately and clearly. The work outlined by the first Buddhist Councils continues even today. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85800640537?pwd=tcybZN7zLNThnfkRd3tb2YZyM5nSNJ.1 \nMeeting ID: 858 0064 0537     Passcode: 507478
