The student group is co-sponsoring the free introduction to Buddhism lecture with the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of Soka Gakkai International-USA (SGI-USA), an American Buddhist association that promotes world peace and individual happiness based on the teachings of the Nichiren school of Mahayana Buddhism.
The speakers participating in the event include SGI-USA members David Kasahara, of New York, who is a former vice president of the organization; Arlene Terras, PhD, of Philadelphia; Alison Hirsch, PhD, of Williamsport; and Lisa DeFelice, a Philadelphia youth leader.
According to the SGI-USA website, its members reflect a cross section of our diverse American society, representing a broad range of ethnic and social backgrounds.
Refreshments will follow the lecture. For more information on the lecture, contact HACC's international student office at 717.780-1101.
