EmailJoin Sumi Loundon Kim, chaplain for the Buddhist Community at Duke University, for an evening Community Conversation on Buddhism in America. In her talk, “Blue Jean Buddha: Tracing the Generations of Buddhism in America,” Sumi explores the interplay between Buddhism and American culture through the narrative of four generations in her family. She will explore how young Buddhists in America today have drawn from and diverge from the Baby-Boom Buddhist generation, as well as what the trends in American Buddhism indicate about its future.
