By definition, trauma is exposure to an extremely threatening or painful event—death, injury, violence—whether directly, as a witness, or by learning that it happened to a close person.

Although much has recently been said and written about trauma, it has accompanied humanity since time immemorial. Are today’s traumas the same as those inevitable life circumstances that drove the young Prince Siddhartha onto his path of seeking? How does modern man face painful events?

In a public lecture on the topic Relating to Trauma in the Chan Perspective, teacher Žarko Andričević will connect Buddhist teachings with contemporary experiences in an accessible and profound way.

Public talk is open to all and is a great opportunity to learn more about the work of our Center and how to join our activities.
