🌟 **PUBLIC LECTURE** 🌟 **Living Buddhism: A Zen Perspective** 🧘‍♀️ **Presenter \| Arno Hess** 📅 **7:00 PM \| Wednesday 27 May 2026** 📍 **Brisbane Theosophical Society \| 355 Wickham Terrace\, Spring Hill** 🌟 **LECTURE CONTENT** 🌟 Buddhism encompasses many schools and practices, which can seem overwhelming or even contradictory to newcomers and experienced practitioners alike. Through a Zen lens, this talk returns to the foundations of Buddhist practice, exploring meditation and direct insight as a simple, practical path relevant to everyday modern life. 🌟 **WHO IS ARNO?** 🌟 Arno Hess is a Brisbane-based Zen teacher, founder of Pathway Zen, and leader of the Inside Mindfulness program, a rehabilitation initiative now taught in six Queensland prisons. With a master’s degree in Buddhist Studies and a background co-founding a technology-based manufacturing company, he is passionate about integrating Zen into everyday life and supporting others in their practice. Tea, Coffee and Conversation to follow!
