Ann Arbor Buddhist Society and Lansing Buddhist Association invite you to Public Talks and Retreat by Venerable Kong Xin Walking through 16 years as an ordained Buddhist nun, Ven. Kong Xin’s art as a means of spreading Dharma has been inspired by her over 30 years of meditation practice. Thus, she has earned a Master of Fine Arts in sculpture, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Studio Art in the U.S., and a seven year certificate in Buddhist Philosophy, Psychology, and practice from the Malaysian Buddhist Institute. She has applied her studies internationally by providing crisis intervention counseling, meditation instruction, spiritual guidance, and creating artwork that expresses spirituality in human terms, Humanistic Spirituality. In 2014, she returned to homeland, Malaysia, for six months to engage in a three-month individual retreat, delivering a series of Dharma talks twice weekly, meditation daily, and led introduction meditation retreats monthly at Purple Lotus Temple. Currently, her Art Creates Balance is exhibited in Eisenhower Library, Norridge and Harwood Heights, IL. Her vision is to bridge East and West, Zen and Art, while sharing Dharma practice together. The events are free and open to the public. Donation is suggested to cover the expenses. 中文演讲: 驯服 训练 平衡: 以佛艺开拓生命 Public talk (Chinese): “Taming Training Balance: Expanding Life Horizons through Buddhist Art” Friday, 4/10, 7:30 - 9:30pm, U of M Campus, Pierpont-E Boulevard Room, Ann Arbor Michigan For more information, [log in to unmask] or 734- 665-1002 Public talk (English): “360°...
