$10 Suggested Donation
In Room(s): WPFC Carriage House
Join 29-year-old Shambhala Buddhist practitioner Lodro Rinzler for part of the Pittsburgh leg of his book tour. The Buddha Walks into a Bar is a book for those who are spiritual but not religious, who are
disillusioned by the state of the world, who are sick of their jobs (and
just started last Tuesday), who like drinking beer and having sex and
hate being preached at, who are striving to deepen their social
interactions beyond the digital realms of Twitter and Facebook. This is
Buddhism presented to a generation leaving the safe growth spurts of
college and entering a turbulent and uncertain work force. The Buddha Walks into a Bar is Lodro Rinzler’s introduction to Buddhism for anyone who wants to
ride the waves of life with mindfulness and compassion. Join the author
and teacher for a discussion on how to apply various forms of compassion
to long-term relationships, dating, and even our sex life. More info ...
Our Center is located at 733 North Highland Ave. in the Carriage House, behind WPFC, located centrally in Pittsburgh's eastside
