  • VCS Meeting 9/25/00

    Attending the meeting were Miguel Atwood Ferguson, Nate Siler, Anna Marsh, Sandra Lloyd, and Steve Amstutz.
    We were lucky to be joined by the SGI National Student Division Leader, Daisaku Leslie.
    We discussed the value of chantting in our lives. Chanting moves us towards an enlightened. The vibrations of our chanting put us in harmony with the vibrations of the universe. We also discussed the fact that through chanting, we can physically change the DNA in our bodies!!
    A particularly inspiring moment came when Daisaku quoted the movie "Braveheart"---"Your heart is free, have the courage to follow it!"

  • Buddhist Religious Director (9/14/00)

    I had the great privelige to meet briefly with The Venerable jongmae Kenneth Park, the new Buddhist Religious Director at USC. He is a very kind and caring man and I suggest you stop by to introduce yourself to him. His office is URC 201. He asked me to tell everyone that the USC Buddhist Association meets every Tuesday from 4:30-6. Additionally, VCS can use the fishbowl from 7:30-9 on Tuesday fro whatever purpose we want!
    Also, there is a multi-faith meeting on Thurs. Nov 9. he asked me if it would be possible for VCS to participate on this meeting. He suggested possibly chanting or perhaps an introduction on "Why we chant." It is really quite open and we can do whatever we want if anyone has suggestions.

  • VCS Meeting 9/3/00

    Meeting commenced at 8:00 PM with evening gongyo. Attending were George Artope, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Matt Millar and Nate Siler.
    Discussion began about the USC Religious Diversity Fair on Sept. 13. Does any one have any ideas? We are going to try and show the SGI movie with perhaps some Korean drummers and dancers (cross your fingers!!) Also, any input on booth/table setup or decoration would be greatly appreciated.
