Teaching, and Learning and the Office of Special Programs; and the Tang Teaching Museum. Monday, April 1 @ 6pm: Dominique Townsend, poet and Professor of Religious Studies at Bard College, gives
a reading and discussion of Terdak Lingpa’s poetic dream yoga instructions. Lama Rod Owens on ‘Radical Presence and Social Justice' Join us at 6:00 PM Thursday, April 4, as Lama Rod Owens connects the Second Buddha’s teaching with contemporary concerns.
Perhaps the most radical act now is to be our most open and vulnerable selves allowing
our broken hearts to be glimpsed. In this glimpsing, we can learn to allow our broken
hearts with its fear, trauma, and ignorance to inform our social change work. Radical
presence is the practice of allowing our broken hearts to show us how to be free and
to help others to get free. The Second Buddha: Reception and private tour Tuesday, April 9th 5:30-6:00: Reception in Religious Studies Lounge, Ladd Hall, 2nd Floor 6:10-7:00: Private tour of the Second Buddha show with Ben Bogin, Associate Professor and Director
