Interested in Zen?
Friday, February 20th, 2009Dr. Von Dras has extended an invitation to the broader campus community to visit his Spirituality and Development class on March 2 at 5:15. It is an opportunity to hear Rick Stirr, current leader of the Madison Zen Center and a student of Roshi Bodhin Kjolhede, Abbot of the Rochester Zen Center. Roshi Kjolhede is the Dharma heir of Roshi Phillip Kapleau, author of “The Three Pillars of Zen.”
The presentation will be an introduction to Zen practice using Seng Ts-an’s “Affirming Faith in Mind.”
It promises to be a very interesting evening, and we don’t even have to drive to Madison for it! If you would like to check it out, come to MAC 103 and be sure to leave some of the desks for the actual students.
