Evening of stories and zen humor (Montreal, Canada)
This original event brought together a lecture and theatrical zen skits. Zen is currently in fashion but it seems that our understanding of this philosophy is rather superficial or decorative.
Yet Zen philosophy, which originated in the East, talks about the great questions of life: Who are we? What role do we have to play in the world? What is life? What is death?
Actors played a few skits that made the audience laugh and reflect. This was followed by a dialogue between the speaker and the audience. Everyone realized that philosophy does not exclude laughter!
