Reminder for all to come to the Student Center this Thursday for a day of celebration and community!! We will be making zines with Nodutdol organizers, as they teach us what Chuseok means to the Korean diaspora and how it relates to land sovereignty and current events in today’s political climate.

For Koreans across the globe, this holiday is a time of reflection and remembrance about the legacy and history of the Korean people and those that have left this earth. While we celebrate the endurance of Korean culture and its popularity around the world, we should also acknowledge those who dedicated their lives to Korean sovereignty. Take a second to read about these martyrs who refused to give up in the struggle against imperialism!

This Chuseok event is a reminder that the global fight against imperialism endures!!

Date: Thursday 10/1
Time: 12:30-2:30 p.m.
Location: Student Center basement (aka Hall of Fame Lounge)

TUESDAY, SEPT 29 at 11 AM- 12:15 PM TANGER AUDITORIUM, BC LIBRARY

Join us for the Liebson Ethics Colloquium with Christopher Gowans from Fordham University. Professor Gowan will speak on "Buddhist Self-Knowledge Practice."

Traditions of transformational self-knowledge suppose that practices requiring self-knowledge are needed to transform our lives so as to realize an ideal of well-being or a good life. In Western philosophy, one of these traditions originates with Socrates. In Indian philosophy, an equally important tradition begins with the Upaniṣads. Buddhism is well-known for denying that there is a self. Nonetheless, Buddhism is properly and illuminatingly regarded as a tradition of transformational self-knowledge. It originally developed in conversation with other approaches in the Indian tradition, and it resonates with the Socratic tradition in ways that enable us to see that Buddhism includes perspectives that have been common in Western philosophy.

In this presentation, viewing Buddhism from this self-knowledge standpoint, Prof. Gowans will examine a variety of Buddhist practices—ethical, philosophical, and meditative—as these practices have been understood in the traditional “path” approaches (Buddhist practice as a path from suffering to an enlightened life of tranquility and compassion) and the rather different “exploration” approach that emerges in Chan and Zen Buddhism (Buddhist practice as expressing and exploring what it means not to be a self). by @bcap.brooklyn
