TUWHIRI ONLINE BOOK READING GROUP
What is this? Ancient questions for modern minds
by Martine and Stephen Batchelor
Sundays from 8 September on Zoom
PLUS a Q&A session with Martine Batchelor after the final session
A series of talks given by Martine and Stephen Batchelor during a Sŏn (Chan/Zen) retreat in England, What is this? leads us through the practice of radical questioning at the heart of this Korean Buddhist tradition, showing how anyone at all can benefit from this form of radical inquiry today.
Stephen and Martine show how a practice with its origins in China 1000 years ago can meld with insights from the natural sciences, classical and modern western philosophy, Romantic poetry, and early Buddhism.
This reading group will discuss one chapter each week on Zoom for 14 weeks.
Session start times in a range of time zones
