Rev. Dr. David Matsumoto discusses BLEND: Buddhists Living with Equity and Non-Discrimination. In a world divided by various factions and claims of “purity,” it is important to remember that each being and everything is unique, and yet at the same time, all are interrelated and of equal value with all others. We can only address social issues when we realize that everyone counts and everyone is accountable for our own connections with the problems of this world.

Berkeley Buddhist Temple recently formed a BLEND committee to focus on inclusive outreach and activities based on these principles.
