Coeur d’Alene
Nun to speak at NIC
The Venerable Thubten Chodron, an American nun in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, will speak about the prevalence of various media sources in today’s society and their effects on the mind during “Sex, Violence and Your Mind” from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday and from 10 a.m. to noon and 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday in the Molstead Library Todd Hall on the main campus at North Idaho College.
Ven. Chodron will explore ways to become more conscious about the images and information that enter the mind and the subtle and not-so-subtle results.
Ven. Chodron teaches Buddhist philosophy and meditation worldwide and has published numerous books on the topics. She has practiced this philosophy for approximately 30 years, since she was ordained as a nun in the Tibetan tradition in 1977. She has practiced under the guidance of the Dalai Lama and other Tibetan masters in both India and Nepal.
In a humorous style, Ven. Chodron teaches about Buddhist philosophy and meditation worldwide, including as a resident teacher at Amitabha Buddhist Centre in Singapore and at Dharma Friendship Foundation in Seattle. In 2003, she founded Sravasti Abbey, a Buddhist monastic community in Newport, Wash.
The event is free and open to the public.
