What the Buddhists teach: Finding clarity in everyday life
How do we develop mindfulness and a compassionate optimism about a highly imperfect world? Author Dr. Polly Young-Eisendrath discusses the Buddhist model for remaining fully engaged in the ups and downs of everyday life.

This concludes the 2016-17 season of the First Wednesday series presented by the Vermont Humanities Council. Thank you to the Humanities Council and all our underwriters for bringing this high-quality lecture series to Rutland.
