JOURNEY WITH THE BUDDHA:

On the path to awakening through Mythology, History, Art and the Dharma

Monica Veneziano, M.S.

Wednesday, September 8, 7:00-9:20 pm

Tickets: $25 You must pre-register!

"Monica's love of Eastern studies is contagious."

Jack Weltner, M.D. Psychiatrist

"...a well-researched and riveting art history lecture...and much more. Monica, with movement, poetry and story-telling transports us to magical lands. She shows us in vivid detail how the current of Siddhartha's wisdom flows through the centuries into modern day Buddhism."  David Ludwig, M.D. Children's Hospital, Boston

Come and explore brilliant and profound artistic images that span centuries and diverse Asian and Western cultures from Ancient Greece, Early Christian Art, the Renaissance, Modern Art and more - all innovatively selected by Ms. Veneziano and reflect 40 years of her research. The origins of Buddhism are inextricably woven with historical and mythological roots often overlapping and inseparable. The fascination with Buddhist studies is that it holds within its 2,500 year history a foundation of unshakeable psychological merit. Words of support, wisdom and loving-kindness spoken by the Buddha so very long ago ring clearly as if they were being told to us in this very moment.
