It has been a long time since we Japan super-aging. It is said that the number of people with dementia will increase as the population ages.

"Modern Society and Buddhism -Teachings for Living in a Turbid World-"
Instructor: Masatoshi Fujiwara (Associate Professor, Department of Shinshu Studies, Faculty of Letters, Otani University)
Modern society has been exposed to competitive society since childhood and upholds the value that success in life is achieved by achieving results. However, at the same time, due to the technological evolution symbolized by AI, it is no longer easy to obtain a sense of accomplishment, and the value of human beings is being questioned from the very foundation. I would like to confirm what is the meaning of living in the society of the times in Buddhism.

Denkyo Daishi Saisumi opened the Tendai sect and made Mount Hiei a place of training. Later, many of the founding Buddhist masters Japan such as Hōran and Shinran, studied at Mount Hiei. We will think about the teachings of Saisumi and Mount Hiei, which nurtured many monks and is called the "mother mountain of Japan Buddhism."
