Tell All the Children, December 24, 2007
33 http://onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/willis_e_elliott/2007/12/tell_all_the_children.html "Tell all the children...." On a New York City subway earlier this month (Dec. ’07), a Jew was assaulted for yelling “Happy Hanukkah!” after somebody yelled “Merry Christmas!” Out of the ensuing melee, the police arrested ten. Somebody said let’s celebrate and somebody—with equal right—killed the intended joy by responding what do you mean “we”? “We” minimum is two, maximum is everybody. In between, one’s social identities are GIVEN by blood in time and space; CHOSEN (one’s choice may be cultural [saying yes to the blood-gifts], rebellious [living marginally to one’s birth-culture], or conversional [saying yes to another social identity]); or DENIED (saying yes to nothing except one’s personal choices). Now let’s apply that matrix to the current “On Faith” question: “Britain’s equality chief says ‘It’s time to stop being daft about Christmas. It’s fine to celebrate and it’s fine for Christ to be the star of the show’ in all public celebrations. Are we being too politically correct about Christmas?” 1.....Shocking! Presumably, a national “equality chief” would be the high potentate of political correctness, his hearing finely tuned to dissonances of inequality, sounds any sector of the populace might experience as offensive. Presumably also, the powers of such a functionary would include frustrating the will of the majority in the justice-interest of the oppressed (that is, offended) minority—a power which, when so exercised, the majority would experience as the tyranny of a minority (all having equal rights except the majority). -

American Buddhists: Enlightenment and Encounter
CHAPTER FO U R American Buddhists: Enlightenment and Encounter ★ he Buddha’s Birthday is celebrated for weeks on end in Los Angeles. TMore than three hundred Buddhist temples sit in this great city fac- ing the Pacific, and every weekend for most of the month of May the Buddha’s Birthday is observed somewhere, by some group—the Viet- namese at a community college in Orange County, the Japanese at their temples in central Los Angeles, the pan-Buddhist Sangha Council at a Korean temple in downtown L.A. My introduction to the Buddha’s Birthday observance was at Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights, just east of Los Angeles. It is said to be the largest Buddhist temple in the Western hemisphere, built by Chinese Buddhists hailing originally from Taiwan and advocating a progressive Humanistic Buddhism dedicated to the pos- itive transformation of the world. In an upscale Los Angeles suburb with its malls, doughnut shops, and gas stations, I was about to pull over and ask for directions when the road curved up a hill, and suddenly there it was— an opulent red and gold cluster of sloping tile rooftops like a radiant vision from another world, completely dominating the vista. The ornamental gateway read “International Buddhist Progress Society,” the name under which the temple is incorporated, and I gazed up in amazement. This was in 1991, and I had never seen anything like it in America. The entrance took me first into the Bodhisattva Hall of gilded images and rich lacquerwork, where five of the great bodhisattvas of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition receive the prayers of the faithful. -
1 a New Religious America
A New Religious America: Managing Religious Diversity in a Democracy: Challenges and Prospects for the 21st Century Keynote Address delivered By Professor Dr. Diana L. Eck, Professor of Comparative Religion and Indian Studies, Harvard University, USA, at MAAS International Conference on Religious Pluralism in Democratic Societies, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from August 2021 2002. It is a great pleasure and honor to be here at this gathering this morning to address the question of Religious Diversity and Religious Tolerance in a Democratic Society. There could be no more important question in our world today than the question of how we negotiate our religious differences in a world in which all of us now live together in greater proximity than ever before. As we think about the movements that have reshaped the world in which we live in the past halfcentury, even in the past decade, there are many key words that come to mind. There is the term "globalization" which has many meanings, both positive and negative. Globalization has made all of us more acutely aware of the ways in which our currencies, our economies, our political fortunes, our attempts at waging war and our attempts at building peace are all interlinked. "Interdependence" is another key term, and is a concomitant of globalization. It is not possible to "go it alone" in the kind of world in which we live, for there is no such thing as "alone." As religious communities and as nations our futures are inextricably linked. Along with the globalization of world systems has come the movement of people as refugees and as economic and political migrants. -

Guidelines for Teaching About Religion in K-12 Public Schools in the United States Produced by the AAR Religion in the Schools Task Force; Diane L
for Teaching About Religion in K-12 Public Schools in the United States Guidelines for Teaching About Religion in K-12 Public Schools in the United States Produced by the AAR Religion in the Schools Task Force; Diane L. Moore, Chair Copyright © 2010 American Academy of Religion Executive Summary The United States Department of Education requires states to develop content standards and academic assessments for each subject taught in public schools from kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12). State departments of education are guided in this task by national educational associations that have crafted their own standards and guidelines using the collective wisdom of scholars and educators in each subject. Though religion is not a separate, required subject in public K 12 schools, religion is embedded in curriculum standards across disciplines, especially in social studies and English, and there are a growing number of elective courses that focus on religious themes or topics explicitly. Because 1) the study of religion is already present in public schools, 2) there are no content and skill guidelines for educators about religion itself that are constructed by religious studies scholars, and 3) educators and school boards are often confused about how to teach about religion in constitutionally sound and intellectually responsible ways, the American Academy of Religion (the world’s largest association of religion scholars) has published these Guidelines as a resource for educators and interested citizens. Three premises inform this project: illiteracy regarding religion 1) is widespread, 2) fuels prejudice and antagonism, and 3) can be diminished by teaching about religion in public schools using a non-devotional, academic perspective, called religious studies. -
Blue Mountain Journal Spring 2016-1
Eknath Easwaran’s Blue Mountain Journal Meditation & Spiritual Living Spring 2016 An End to Loneliness Spiritual Fellowship & Spiritual Reading In This Issue The fellowship of others following the same path, Easwaran writes, “is an essential part of the spiritual life.… It should not be considered a luxury or indulgence.” That is why he made satsang, spiritual fellowship, the seventh point in his eight-point program. Over the years we at the Blue Mountain Center have made this a high priority. The Internet has helped enormously: beyond our retreats here in Tomales, we now offer eSatsangs, webinars, and a new Blue Mountain Blog (see pp. 46–47), as well as a dedicated email forum for discussing topics raised in this journal (see sidebar, p. 16). Today it’s easier than ever for a serious meditator to find fellowship along the way. In this issue we broaden spiritual support to include what Easwaran calls “the company of saints and sages”: the great mystics of all religions, whom we discover in Spring 2016 Volume 27, No. 1 our practice of the last point in his program, © 2016 by spiritual reading – and, of course, in the The Blue Mountain inspired words of the passages we use Center of Meditation, P.
