Bernie Glassman, a pioneer of the American Zen Movement, will offer an evening talk in Charlottesville on November 24th. The talk is hosted by Insight Meditation Community of Charlottesville (IMCC).
Roshi Glassman emphasizes service as an expression of spiritual awakening. Integrating Zen practice and social service, Glassman developed the Greyston Foundation in New York. Greyston administers a set of social service groups and businesses to lift homeless people out of poverty. Offerings include housing, job skill training, employment, a child care center, an AIDS residence and a licensed HIV clinic.
Roshi Glassman’s evening talk is from 7:30-9 pm, at JABA, located at 674 Hillsdale Drive on November 24th. Proceeds will benefit PACEM, with a suggested donation of $10.00.
PACEM will join with The Haven to welcome Glassman for tea and a tour of the The Haven in the afternoon before his evening talk.
