About this Event
2025 Cushing Distinguished Lecture
Join us for the 2025 Cushing Distinguished Lecture Series at the University of Detroit Mercy! This year's George Pickering Lecture in Ethics will be given by Prof. Jay Garfield. Prof. Garfield directs the Buddhist Studies Program and Tibetan Studies in India program at Smith College. He is also visiting professor of Buddhist philosophy at Harvard Divinity School.
Title: Buddhism and Nonviolence in the Contemporary World
To understand a Buddhist analysis of nonviolence in a way relevant to our contemporary life, it is first important to understand how violence manifests in the contemporary world. Second, we must develop a recognizably Buddhist analysis of that violence and its causes. Third, we must examine how a Buddhist ethical framework determines our responsibilities as agents in the context of that violence and a path to its eradication.
