The theme of the 2018 SHEN is Conference is Cultivating the Spirit of Love.

The following are some questions we will explore together:

  • What does 'Love' mean to each of us?
  • Love for whom or what?
  • What do you wish to express by it?
  • Is love a natural phenomenon?
  • Is love a deep feeling of warmth and care arising out of kinship?
  • Is love limited to our kin only?
  • How do we extend love to a commonality defining "our people"?
  • Is love limited to "our" people?
  • How do we define "our" people?
  • How can it be cultivated?
  • What does cultivation of love mean?
  • Why is it an essential thing to do?
  • Can we love all existence?
  • Can love of all existence be real, an imagination, a weak “implicit feeling” or an insight?
  • How is love different from a "feeling"?
  • What is this an "implicit feeling"?
  • How do we "feel" it?
  • How do we grow this "implicit feeling" into an insight?
  • Is this insight a matter of faith, belief, feeling, thinking, intellect, logic and reason?

Let us together explore such questions at this conference.

All are welcome!
