SUMMARY:In-Person: The Second Buddha – A Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: The Second Buddha – A Poetry Reading \nwith Yuyutsu Sharma\n \nThursday\, January 2nd\, 2025 | 1:00pm – 2:00pm \nLocation: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nExperience an unforgettable afternoon of poetry and reflection with the Himalayan poet Yuyutsu Sharma. This special event\, “The Second Buddha: A Poetry Reading”\, highlights the poet’s deep connection to Himalayan Buddhism and his extraordinary poetic journey. \nSharma will read from The Second Buddha Walk\, a poetry collection inspired by the Rubin Museum’s “Second Buddha: Master of Time” exhibit\, which celebrates the life and teachings of the ancient Tibetan teacher Guru Padmasambhava. Yuyutsu will delve into the spiritual landscapes that shaped his verses\, weaving a rich tapestry of imagery and insight. \nIn addition to selections from The Second Buddha Walk\, Yuyutsu will share recent works rooted in Nepalese Himalayan Buddhism\, drawing from his acclaimed books\, Milarepa’s Bones\, The Nepal Trilogy\, and Annapurna Poems. These works explore themes of meditation\, pilgrimage\, and the enduring power of sacred geography. \nBeyond the readings\, Yuyutsu will offer a rare glimpse into the transformative role of meditation and shamanic practices across South Asia in shaping his journey as a global traveling poet. His reflections will interlace personal stories\, cultural observations\, and poetic wisdom\, creating a vibrant dialogue between tradition and modernity. \nThe event will conclude with a brief Q&A session\, allowing the audience to engage directly with the poet\, followed by a book signing opportunity. \nDon’t miss this rare chance to witness the lyrical magic and profound spiritual insights of Yuyutsu Sharma\, a poet whose words transcend borders and touch the soul. \nRegistration:\nThis gathering is open to all\, and if you are able\, we invite you to offer dana to New York Insight.
