Interfaith Exchange Program with the New Life Association in South Korea
From July 17 to 19, 8 members of Rissho Kosei-kai participated in an exchange program with the New Life Association, one of the lay organizations affiliated with Won Buddhism, headquartered in South Korea.
The main theme of the program was “Retreat.” During the 3-day program, participants stepped away from the busyness of everyday life and took time to mindfully reflect on their daily lives and the movements of their hearts.
Through encounters and dialogue with members of the New Life Association, participants encountered new perspectives, found inspiration for living the teachings in their own authentic way, and gained insights that will help them move forward with greater vitality, lightness, and purpose in their daily lives.
The program was well received by all participants, who shared that it reminded them of the importance of setting aside time—even if only a little—to reflect on their hearts and minds. They expressed their hope to carry this practice into their daily lives, enabling them to live with greater calm, openness, and joy.
