Bonnie Myotai Treace, Sensei to teach at NYC's Japan Society
Bonnie Myotai Treace, Sensei, is coming to teach at NYC's Japan Society! In March and April, she will be leading a six-week workshop called "Exquisite Way: Japanese Aesthetic Principles and Zen Practice." The workshop will cover zazen instructions for any Zewbies (that's Zen newbies), and will then discuss the following:
Tricycle Talks: Ken McLeod speaks to Richard Eskow, Part 2 of 3
At the 2011 Buddhist Geeks conference (the next will be in Boulder in August 2012) Tricycle Contributing Editor Richard Eskow spoke to teacher and translator Ken McLeod. Their conversation was so fruitful they decided to meet up after the conference and continue talking, and they were gracious enough to share it with us. Part 2 of their conversation is below.
In this second of three installments, they discuss the controversial idea of the Buddha as a scientist. This sounds very clinical and rational, but McLeod points out that the very idea of being a scientist is itself based on a set of beliefs. "Science," McLeod says, "is the unacknowledged religion of our age."
Part 1 of this discussion is here.
Tricycle Community Members Respond to Film Club's Being in the World
Our current Film Club movie is Tao Ruspoli's Being in the World, a discussion of what it means to be human, and how to be human, in a world dominated by impersonal technology. The film features interviews with prominent philosophers and footage of remarkable humans: among them, a flamenco guitarist with a beard like Santa Claus and the soul of a true poet, a graceful juggler, and a female chef who whips up food in a hot pink chef's jacket.
It's a beautiful film with deep, layered messages and meanings. As Tricycle community member MarkG commented:
