第二次大戦後の日米への禅仏教の関りを、歴史的貴重な資料をもとにシンポジウムがダーラム（NC)にて開かれます。
In Spring 2018, the senior leadership of the Rochester Zen Center gifted the papers of their founding teacher, Philip Kapleau-roshi (1912-2004) and documents concerning the Center, which Kapleau founded in 1966, to the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Duke University.
One of the early centers of convert Zen Buddhist practice in the United States, Kapleau-roshi helped popularize Zen Buddhism outside Japan through his teaching at the Center, his frequent offering of introductory workshops on Zen across the United States, and his writings, most notably the Three Pillars of Zen.
In recognition of the donation of these documents and other materials, we will host a half-day symposium on Kapleau-roshi’s teachings and legacy at Duke University

Atlanta Botanical Gardens
1345 Piedmont Ave NE
Atlanta, GA 30309
Narcissus Garden is a signature work of contemporary art created by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Narcissus Garden was first presented in 1966, when Kusama staged an unofficial installation and performance at the 33rd Venice Biennale. The silver spheres, originally made from plastic, were installed on the lawn in front of the Italian Pavilion, reflecting the landscape of the exhibition grounds. Kusama herself stood among them, barefoot and dressed in a gold kimono, alongside yard signs inscribed with the words “Narcissus Garden, Kusama” and “Your Narcissism for Sale.”
The installation is site-specific and made up of approximately 1,400 stainless steel spheres carefully arranged by staff from Kusama’s studio in Japan. These spheres can be viewed in their current location at the Atlanta Botanical Garden from the Canopy Walk, and along many of the trails leading into and out of Storza Woods.
The Narcissus Garden installation is a joint effort between the Atlanta Botanical Garden and The High Museum, which hosts Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors through Feb. 17. Narcissus Garden will remain on-view in Storza Woods through Spring.
