Sat, Jun 29 2019
6:30 am – 7:30 am
Rose Garden, Prospect Park

BPL Presents humanities and art University Open Air


We live in a conceptual world full of hope and fear, yet we mostly focus on the past and future. Why is there so much anger, destruction and unhappiness in life? Chod is a famous healing practice on the Himalayan plateau. For this session, Dr. Chok will discuss the practice of Chod and perform a short healing session. He will also teach how to meditate through conducting a guided meditation session. 

Dr. Chok Tenzin Monlam is a Tibetan yoga and mindfulness instructor with over ten years traveling, spreading teachings about Tibetan yoga and meditation methods. Additionally, he has over a decade of background and Buddhist knowledge of physical and mental healings. Moreover, he has translated more than 30 books and many articles into English or into Tibetan.

In collaboration with Prospect Park Alliance, Brooklyn Public Library presents University Open Air, a free, three-week series of classes beginning Tuesday, June 11th in Prospect Park’s former Rose Garden.

To access the Rose Garden, follow signs through Prospect Park's Grand Army Plaza enterance.
