This week lay dharma leader Kay Schroeter reflects upon the writings of Reverend Kono, the founding minister of the Midwest Buddhist Temple.
Film: Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto (with English Subtitles)
The first feature in a trilogy based on the epic novel by Eiji Yoshikawa. Toshiro Mifune plays a brash and ambitious peasant who desires fame and power as a swordsman. His dreams of glory in war sour when his army is routed and he becomes hunted by the authorities, but the “tough love” attentions of a kindly but severe monk help him develop from a hot-tempered outlaw to a thoughtful swordsman.
Take part in the after film discussion of this film's relevance to Japanese culture.
NO Admission fee. Popcorn and snacks will be served. Please RSVP (312) 943-7801 so we'll know how many chairs to setup.
The tradional Japanese dance is very simple in form. All are welcome to dance practice sessions. Check the Temple's Google calendar for times and dates of the dance classes.
Snow cones, lemonade, iced tea and soft drinks will be sold.
