Introduction to Buddhist Chaplaincy

May 11, 2019 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

With Jennifer Lemas, Daijaku Kinst, Diane Wilde and Others Saturday
May 11, 2019, 9:30 a.m.to 12:30 p.m.

Join us for a half-day overview of a chaplain’s work of providing spiritual care and support for people in hospitals, hospices, prisons, and a wide variety of other settings. The work is wonderfully challenging and satisfying. In recent years, Buddhist practitioners have been experiencing chaplaincy as a powerful opportunity to practice engaged Bud- dhism, and for some, as a vocation and profession. Information about the Sati Center’s Buddhist Chaplaincy Training and the Institute for Buddhist Studies Chaplaincy Degree Program will also be provided.

Daijaku Kinst is the Hanyu Professor of Buddhist Chaplaincy at the Institute of Buddhist Studies and the direc- tor of the Buddhist Chaplaincy graduate program offered jointly by IBS and the Graduate Theological Union. She is a Soto Zen priest and guiding teacher, with Rev. Shinshu Roberts, of the Ocean Gate Zen Center in Capitola CA. She also trained and is licensed as a marriage and family therapist and completed one unit of CPE at UCSF.

Diane Wilde has studied meditation in various traditions since 1990. In 2001 she was a founding member of Sacramento Insight Meditation. She founded Buddhist Pathways Prison Project, and helps to coordinate and train over 65 volunteers who offer Buddhist services at numerous California prisons and jails. She was lay or- dained as a Buddhist Minister by Gil Fronsdal in 2015. She is a teacher at Sacramento Insight Meditation and California State Prison Sacramento.

Jennifer Lemas has been practicing Vipassana meditation since 1997. She was lay ordained as a Buddhist Minister by Gil Fronsdal. She is a graduate of the Sati Center Buddhist Chaplaincy Program, Upaya’s Buddhist Chaplaincy and has completed four units of CPE at Sequoia Hospital.
