Psychology and Buddhism
Amida Trust is currently developing a communication loop for practicing therapists to share information on the emergence of Buddhist principles into the field of psychotherapy.
Women's Issues
Members of Amida Trust may begin conversation exploring the possibility of a feminist view of the Buddha Dharma. The Buddha said to explore what we are taught and only through "our own experience" is the truth to be found. Much of what we have learned about the Dharma has been, traditionally, taught by men. Amida Trust is an opportunity for women to become active in making Buddhism live in the modern world so as to serve all beings.
