How do we grieve our losses? How can we care for our spirits? Immigrant daughter, novice chaplain, bereaved friend, and author Chenxing Han explores these searing questions in her latest book One Long Listening. One of American Buddhism's most vital new voices, Chenxing illuminates and reexamines Buddhism with new perspectives and invites us to dive into unknowingness. Not knowing is most intimate.
Join Chenxing and Associate Professor and Core faculty of Asian Contemplative and Transcultural Studies (ACTS) in the Department of East-West Psychology at CIIS Jun Wang for a transformative conversation as they explore Chenxing's journey through the wilds of grief and laughter, pain and impermanence. Drawing upon her Buddhist practice, experiences with a dying friend, bedside chaplaincy visits, and memories of a migratory childhood, Chenxing reconnects us to both the heartache and inexplicable brightness of being human.
Chenxing and Jun invite us to dive fearlessly into the stories we inhabit, the hopes we relinquish, and what it means simply to be, to and for the ones we love.
Free, suggested donation of $20.
