Wild Mind, Wild Earth: Zen and Ecology with Poet David Hinton
Attend:
| Free with general admission |
*General museum admission is FREE for residents of Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties.
David Hinton is an American poet, and translator who specializes in Chinese literature and poetry. The arts were considered forms of Zen Buddhist practice in ancient China, and mountain landscapes were integral to that practice.
Hinton’s new book, Wild Mind, Wild Earth: Our Place in the Sixth Extinction explores how Zen is a path to reveal the kinship of mind and nature, one that must be re-animated to counter our modern ways of devaluing and exploiting our planet.
Detroit Zen Center monks will offer a guided meditation as part of this program and facilitate a conversation with Hinton and audience members after his presentation. (75 min.)
