First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee

A Sermon from: March 18, 2007
By: Rev. Andrew C. Kennedy

The Rev. Kennedy’s comments: “Sunyata, or Emptiness, in Buddhism is an elusive, fascinating view of ultimate reality. It is at once mystical and completely practical and useful in everyday life. Like the 12th century mystic Meister Eckhart, Sunyata resembles what Eckhart called the Godhead, which he sharply distinguished from God. Sunyata is the nothing that contains everything. Join me as we explore some of the main contours and back eddies of Buddhist nothingness as a Way.”

A Sermon from: March 11, 2007
By: Rev. Andrew C. Kennedy

The Rev. Kennedy’s Comments: “If Buddhism comes down to one word, it would be non-attachment. Thus, one of the most nettlesome issues of Buddhism is reconciling the critical importance of “non-attachment” with deep love, caring and compassion. Does non-attachment not suggest not caring, and loving our loved ones less? Join me as we explore this and related issues.”

A Sermon from: March 4, 2007
By: Rev. Craig D. Schwalenberg

The Rev. Schwalenberg’s Comments: “From The Lotus Sutra, ‘Just as the light of the sun and the moon can dispel darkness, such a person working in the world, can dispel the gloom of living beings, leading innumerable bodhisattvas finally to dwell in the One-vehicle.’

“Or put more simply, all of us are Buddhas in the making and we are each capable of teaching and transforming the world. How? Through skillful means.”
