Gotan-E Seminar 10-3PM on Saturday May 17th. Shinran's View on Two Types of Wisdom: from human wisdom to the Buddha's Wisdom Presented by Rev. Dr. Nobuo Haneda of the Maida Center, Berkeley. Rev. Dr. Haneda will expound on Shinran's view about the importance of knowing the difference between Provisional Buddhism (i.e. a way of self-improvement) and True Buddhism (i.e. Shinshu). The difference derives from the fact that Provisional Buddhism is based on dualistic human wisdom, and True Buddhism is based on the Buddha's wisdom (of oneness).
