Politics, Suffering and Zen: A Free Public Lecture
What is Zen?
How Can Buddhist Practice Help Us Face Suffering and Change?
These and other issues will be discussed by Roshi Bodhin Kjolhede. Born in Michigan in 1948 and a graduate of the University of Michigan where he majored in psychology, Kjolhede began a 15-year course of residential training at the Rochester Zen Center under Roshi Philip Kapleau, author of The Three Pillars of Zen (1966), one of the seminal works on Zen Buddhism in America. After completing his training and a pilgrimage through Asia, Kjolhede was named Kapleau’s
successor and assumed responsibilities for the Rochester Center in 1986. Since then, he has conducted numerous meditation retreats throughout the United States as well as in Sweden and Mexico and other affiliated centers.
