Join us for a double event this Sunday, May 20, at the Mabuhay Temple. In the morning, catch Professor José Alain Austria, former Chair of the Social Sciences Area of De La Salle – College of St. Benilde, at the BUDDHIST LECTURE SERIES 2012 as he presents the similariti...es between the Kuan Yin figure of Chinese Buddhism and the Virgin Mary of Filipino Catholicism in a talk entitled THE KUAN YIN-MARY CONNECTION: ARCHETYPES OF MERCY IN FILIPINO COLONIAL RELIGIOUS ART AND FOLKLORE. Prof. Austria will also present a deconstruction of a 17th century legend from Batangas which seems to merge the identities of the two holy figures. The lecture will be held at the Prajna Lecture Hall located at the 5th floor. Registration starts at 9:30 am.
In the after noon, join the DHARMA CINEMA CIRCLE for a FREE film screening of SAMSARA, the debut feature of critically-acclaimed director Pan Nalin. Dubbed as a spiritual love story, Samsara is the tale of one man's struggle to find spiritual enlightenment while dealing with his worldly desires. A discussion on the film and how it relates to Virya Paramita or the Perfection of Diligence will follow after the screening. The film screening will be held at the Audio Visual Room located at the 6th floor. Registration starts at 1:30 pm.
