November Speaker Series: A Zen Buddhist Monk’s Travels To China
In 2008, 22 Zen Buddhists abbots, priest and monks from the United States traveled to China to deepen their understanding of China’s contribution to Buddhist thought and development. On Wednesday, November 18th, at 7:oo p.m., one of those travelers, Michael Hakuzan Wenninger, will offer his observations and impressions of that experience. The evening will include a discussion of the reemergence of Chan (Zen) Buddhism in China, his visit to major Buddhist temples, like Shaolin and Bailin Monastery Temples, and his excursion into the magnificent Huangshan (China’s Grand Canyon). This will be an enlightening (very poor pun intended) talk! As ever, this is a free event.
Michael Hakuzan Wenninger is a Zen Buddhist priest ordained in the Soto Buddhist tradition. He practices at Hakubai Temple, Boulder, CO.
