BIRD & BECKETT CULTURAL LEGACY PROJECT
The Lotus Sutra is an operatic religious script, a poetic text. Epically visionary, yet utterly concrete. The poetry is only one element upon the palette of enlightened consciousness, and the Lotus Sutra teaches that enlightened consciousness is a possibility for all. It may be surprising to think of this as an ancient truth, but the Lotus Sutra is an ancient text. It is the source of many creative connections that can be made with contemporary concerns.
Walker Brents III has been musing at Bird & Beckett on diverse topics in poetry, philosophy, mythology and culture on a near monthly basis for two decades. He shows no sign of flagging. These days, post-pandemic, it’s primarily a live stream, found on our facebook page and youtube channel, but you can slip into the shop to listen in person if you like. Just give us a call the afternoon of the “show” – 415-586-3733. Donate ten bucks when you come, to contribute to his care and feeding. His talks are usually midweek, on a Wednesday or Thursday, mid-month, at 7:30 and run an hour and a half or so. Donations for the live stream are always appreciated as well.
