Christ and the Buddha Are Brothers

Tuesday, April 15, 2008 7:00 – 9:00 pm
Arrigoni Center at Iona College
Offering $10 / Students free

An evening of mindfulness practice and conversation with Jeanne Anselmo on the interfaith dialogue work of Thich Nhat Hanh, the celebrated Vietnamese Buddhist master. The evening will explore some of the contemplative perspectives of Thay’s book, Jesus and the Buddha Are Brothers, in order to distill the essential and interrelated wisdom of Christianity and Zen Buddhism.

Jeanne Anselmo is an ordained lay monastic of Thich Nhat Hanh's Order of Interbeing and a highly experienced holistic nurse consultant who teaches mindfulness practices and leads retreats for nurses, helping professionals, law students/lawyers and others in a wide variety of settings in the U.S. and Ireland. This evening she will invite us to explore the ways the practice of mindfulness can awaken a deeper faith and discipleship for Christians.

Anam Cara Ministry

In the Celtic tradition soul friends are considered an essential and integral part of spiritual development and the practice of spiritual companionship is a way to deepen and enrich the spiritual life. The Iona Spirituality Institute offers a ministry of spiritual care and accompaniment provided by a network of skilled spiritual directors who are available to arrange with you times and places and fees for each session.

This initiative is part of our ongoing mission to aid the cultivation of the contemplative life of persons who have found in the Iona Spirituality Institute a gracious source of support and celebration for the soul.
