BPF Boston: Harvard Divinity School: Buddhist Arts of Ministry and Leadership: Teaching and Adapting Meditative Skills

[BPF Boston chapter announcements]

 From Anne Sung:
This is another public lecture folks might be interested in:

John Rockwell, resident teacher of meditation and practice at Karmê
Chöling, a Tibetan Buddhist retreat center in Vermont, will speak at
Harvard Divinity School on Tuesday, November 28, 2006, at 7 pm, in the
Sperry Room. His lecture, titled "Enlightening the Emotions," is
second in a series of four public lectures presented in association
with the course "Buddhist Arts of Ministry and Leadership: Teaching
and Adapting Meditative Skills." These public lectures provide a
chance for members of Harvard University and the Divinity School's
larger community to hear about the work of leading exemplars of
Buddhist ministry who are active in the United States today. Speakers
in the spring semester will be Joan Halifax (March 6) and Sharon
Salzberg (April 10).

John Rockwell's HDS lecture will address a new movement in
contemporary psychotherapeutic circles to use Tantric Buddhist notions
on subjectivity, conflicting emotions, and their potential for
transformation rather than avoidance.
