Global Studies of Religion

Global Conference Alliance Inc. is excited to host the “Religious Studies and Peace Conference”. Our primary objective is to bring together experts, religious leaders, and peace enthusiasts from different backgrounds. We will discuss the deep ties between religious teachings and peace efforts around the world. We aim to dive into religions’ history, beliefs, and cultural aspects to create a meaningful conversation that builds understanding and respect.

Moreover, we’ve planned a variety of topics, from why peace is significant in religions to how we can all work together for better religious relationships. We want attendees to understand that religions, at their core, strive for unity and healing.

With open talks, connecting with others, and highlighting the shared hopes we all have for a peaceful world, Global Conference Alliance Inc. wants to make a real difference in how we see and engage with different religions. Through this event, we hope to make a positive change in the ongoing effort to understand religion and promote peace everywhere.

Just as the Program on Historical Studies pursues religion across time, this program pursues it across space. What is the state of religion around the globe? Where is it stronger, where weaker? What are the trends? What difference does it make? And what about religious effects? Are religious people happier, more generous, and more law-abiding? Are the results the same for all religions? Does religion influence economic development and does economic development influence religion? These and dozens of similar important questions will be addressed through ISR’s partnership with the Gallup Organization which allows ISR scholars access to Gallup’s annual surveys of 162 nations. One product of this collaboration will be an annual report on the Religious and Spiritual State of the World.

Religion and Spirituality Are Important Things to Discuss in Therap

Research demonstrates that there is a relationship between religion and spirituality and psychological health and functioning. The numbers show that religion and spirituality are important to most clients. The therapist's role is changing as more people are unaffiliated with religion and looking to mental health providers for guidance once provided by spiritual leaders.

While some therapists are reluctant to address religion and spirituality in session for various reasons, therapists are able to address these issues with varying levels of comfort and proficiency. It is important to recognize internal and external resources associated with religious affiliation and to be aware that there are positive and negative ways of using religious coping.

While religious and spiritual involvement can promote psychological well-being, there are some harmful forms of involvement, and some religious and spiritual beliefs and practices can result in spiritual emergencies.

Learn about Buddhism, its history and cultural roots

Buddhism is, at its depths, a grand philosophy of life. It encourages all sentient beings to transcend life’s sufferings by casting away desires and mental afflictions and thereby embark on a journey to attain the ultimate level of spiritual understanding. Buddhists refer to this as the state of “Enlightenment”. As each of us treads this path, we must take responsibility for our own actions and choices, even beyond our current lifetime, while practicing compassion to all living things.

It is no wonder that, since its introduction to East and South Asia, Buddhism has flourished in many countries over long periods in history. The International Buddhist Society is proud to play a part in Buddhism’s fast-growing popularity and acceptance in Western culture. We will continue to strive for Enlightenment, while helping others, both locally and internationally, to do the same.
