About Event

If mind shapes our experience, what role does the body play in practice?

In Part 2 of our Lankavatara series, Ian turns to our lived, physical experience, how we sit, move, and meet the world through the body. Drawing on Chan teachings, including the Trikaya, as well as his background in martial arts and bodywork, he explores how the body is not separate from mind, but a direct expression of practice in everyday life.

We are looking forward to have a fun and practical Dharma talk session with you.

8:00 PM - 9:30 PM: Talk followed by Q&A and discussion
