Buddhism in America
A talk by Sumi Loundon Kim
February 8, 2010
7:00-8:00pm
in the Multicultural Center Conference Room, Bryan Center
In this talk, Sumi Loundon Kim traces the role of Buddhism in four generations of her family as it reflects the broader history of Buddhism in America. Born and raised in a Zen community, Sumi shares her own path as a young Buddhist, from learning meditation as a kid to studying Buddhism at Harvard to marrying a Korean Zen monk.
She gives attention to how one’s relationship to religion and spiritual practice can change during the college years. Sumi has published two anthologies about the lives of young Buddhists in the West: Blue Jean Buddha and The Buddha’s Apprentices. She has a master's in Buddhist Studies and Sanskrit from Harvard Divinity School and was until recently the associate director at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies.
