Faith in Buddhism can be a touchy topic. Is that a bad thing? Or a spur to investigation. People come to this tradition with a wide range of notions about what faith is and how it relates to their practice. How does that unfold?
Max’s talk explored notions of faith we might bring as we enter Buddhism, how faith might look in our practice, how faith might be harmful, and how faith might be of benefit, nurturing our practice, particularly when our suffering seems overwhelming.
As we take our tea, our conversation explored how these questions arise in our own practices, and with what effects.
