I am invited by Mr. James Coffin, the executive of the Interfaith in Florida, to give a presentation at the Interfaith Conference in The Hindu Society in Florida in November, 2015.
The Topic of this conference is How To Achieve Global Peace Through Your Own Faith. There are about 30 speakers who come from many religions. They invite 2 people on behalf of Buddhism, a lay-woman and me, a monk. Cheryl, a White American, has a Ph.D degree.
The Hindu Temple is huge, and sacred.
Time is stricly. Every speaker has only 5 minutes for their speech. The moderator, James Coffin, will wave a yellow card when 4 minutes passes. It means this speaker has to summarize their topic. Right after 5 minutes, Mr. Coffin raises a red card: the speaker must stop his performance.
There are just 2 speakers using PowerPoint; both are Buddhist. My topic is The Four Kinds of Nutriments. With Laptop, projector and screen, I perform my presentation successfully.
After the conference, the speakers and the audience are invited to enjoy traditional Indian food. Then we are guided to make a tour a round and inside of the sacred Temple.
