On Thursday January 22nd Ven Myong Ahn Sunim provided a lecture at the South Plainfield Public Library about meditation from the Zen Buddhist perspective. The talk focused on how our thoughts influence our daily experience and how meditation can help us restore the balance between our mind, body and spirit. Ven Myong Ahn’s thoughtful stories helped illustrate how each individual already holds the power within to lead peaceful, happy lives. Bob Davey was also on hand, and helped answer the audience’s questions about his own experience with meditation.
