About the Event
Stephen Schettini took his Buddhism so seriously that after eight years as a monk, he quit his robes, his teachers, his fellow monks and his hard-earned fluency in Tibetan, slamming the door on privileged monastic life. Now, thirty years later and teaching mindful reflection to secular, stressed-out consumers, he makes a careful distinction between Buddha and Buddhism. He’ll talk about the difficulties of balancing faith with open enquiry, and the challenge of transplanting the Buddha’s message in the West.
Evening Topic:
Buddhism & What the Buddha Taught — Is there a Difference?
Q&A will follow.
Friday, April 9; 7-9 PM
This is a free event, please RSVP.
