The Asia Society Switzerland is hosting this event at Karl der Grosse, Kirchgasse 14 in 8001 Zürich.

The American Yale- and Harvard-graduate-turned-monk has trained intensively for over three decades in the temples of Korea, China, and Japan and is the first Westerner to be ordained in the People’s Republic of China since the Communist Revolution. Sunim’s best-selling autobiography Man Haeng: From Harvard to Hwa Gye Sah Temple is widely credited as being the catalyst for a noticeable revival in interest in Zen Buddhism, especially among younger generations in Korea. Moderated by Julianne Lee, Sunim will talk about what he has learned regarding the nature of mind and human experience, and offers actionable hacks for bringing Zen meditation into our daily lives. The event will be followed by an apéro.

Please find the flyer of the third edition of “Big Picture: Zen” here. More info can also be found on the event page.
