Transbelief Dialogue & Nature Walk 40, "What's YOUR Path to Shangri-La?"

Welcome to our 40th Transbelief Dialogue, where we follow Aristotle's path of peripatetically discussing our differences. It's been called "Mindwalk + My Dinner with Andre!" This time, we'll stroll downstream from Minnehaha Falls to the Mississippi River during our transbelief dialogue, and after our stroll, we'll drop by the local Parkway Pizza for after-dinner!

This Meetup is part of our group's recurring forum, The Dialogium, for facilitative, reasoning dialogue between FMCOR's very different folks!

As we stroll Wood Lake and commune with nature, we'll discuss our diverse opinions about such questions as these:

"What's your own personal Shangri-La -- your Paradise?"

"Is Shangri-La long life and health, or immortality?"

"Is 'Shangri-La' earthly wealth and luxury?"

"Is 'Shangri-La" an earthly connection to our planet & its fellow inhabitants?"

"Is 'Shangri-La' Heaven, or Nirvana?"

"Is 'Shangri-La' the attainment of knowledge or wisdom, or its bestowal on those who follow us?"

"Is Shangri-La an external paradise, or an internal one?"

"If Shangri-La is your internal paradise, how do (or did) you reach it -- how does one best attain spiritual or ethical growth?"

"Is spiritual or ethical growth a priority we should focus on in life?"

"Have you attained your Shangri-La? If not, how can you get there -- or is it an impossible dream?"
