Cambridge University Buddhist Society's first event this term will be a talk on Buddhism and the Arts.  Whether you consider yourself to be a Buddhist or not, this talk will be a great chance to hear about how we can incorporate beauty and meaning into our lives.

Topic: Buddhism and the Arts
Speaker: Ratnagarbha, editor of Urthona magazine
Venue: Winstanley Lecture Theatre, Trinity College
Date: Thursday 28th January
Time: 7pm

The talk will be given by Ratnagarbha, the editor of Urthona.  This magazine features articles written by Buddhists from many different schools, sharing their experiences of the role of art in their Buddhist practice.  Ratnagarbha will speak about how the arts can be a tool for personal transformation, and an exploration of the cultural crossroads at which Western Buddhists may find themselves.
