Meet a Monk,
Q&A session with a Buddhist monk and nuns
Venue: Vrieshof 2 - 004
Time: 10.00-11.00 hr

Buddhism seems to be all around us nowadays, even in the Netherlands. Perhaps you have read a Buddhist text, heard about the psychological benefits of meditation, seen a video about Buddhist cultures, or have a personal interest in Buddhism. All of these encounters might have raised many questions for you, including those about what a Buddhist life is really like. This Q&A session provides a unique opportunity to ask six experienced Buddhist monastics any questions you may have about Buddhism, what a monastic life is like, how to be a Buddhist in the modern world, and so on. How do they spend their time? Do they call their parents? Do they contribute to society in any way? You’re invited to come with curiosity, bringing any questions you have. After the session, the monk, nuns and the accompanying lay-people will have lunch. If you bring your own lunchbox, you’re welcome to join.
