International Conference on Other-Centered Approaches

Event Date
February 18, 2011toFebruary 20, 2011

First International Conference on Other-Centered Approaches: New Directions in Buddhist Psychology

at the Jodo Shinshu Center
Berkeley, California

February 18 – 20, 2011

Please click here for complete details on this conference.

Western psychology has long been dominated by the notion of self: self-esteem, self-entitlement, self-gratification, self-awareness, and self-knowledge. Yet our spiritual and psychological well-being is not measured by self-concern, but by a directional shift of attention which involves understanding, appreciation, and compassion for others.

This ground-breaking conference, rooted in Buddhist psychology, will present other-centered approaches, which offer fresh, new tools to address challenges in the field of mental health, education, religion, human relations, chaplaincy, and more.
