Buddhism and Taoism in the West
14 november 20:00
Doopgezinde Kerk, Oude Boteringestraat 33
Lao Tse and Gautama Buddha lived in East Asia more than 2000 years ago, but the influence of their lives and their teachings continue in a multitude of ways today. Buddhism and Taoism are practiced by an estimated 1.2 billion in the world, and perhaps between 1 and 3 million in Western-Europe alone. Over the past twenty years, interest in Buddhism, Taoism, and meditation has grown tremendously in Western Europe, especially in the Netherlands – in 2015 the Volkskrant estimated that 5 % to 10% of the Dutch population meditate regularly.
