The Middle Way Initiative is a non-profit Buddhist organization that supports and encourages spirited conversation around the Buddha’s most essential teachings.
In this episode, Elizabeth takes us on a journey through the term ‘faith.' We may assume we know what faith is, but most of us have never truly explored its nuance or spectrum of meanings. We often use the term faith to refer to: dogma, fundamentalism, doctrine, confidence, devotion, conviction, just to name a few. In the context of contemporary culture, there are those who suggest that we replace the world faith with spirituality, but Elizabeth requests us not to write-off faith so glibly. Faith carries with it the undeniable tension between our search for security and the limits of our ability to know. Faith keeps us connected to the heart of the human condition.
Our Middle Way Initiative Donor Campaign runs through December 31, 2023. All donors who have given a total of $108 USD or more during 2023 will be entered in a random drawing for an archival matte paper print of Kongtrul Rinpoche’s oil painting “Light Coming Through.”
