Mixed Nuts Reading Club
Supporting the Charitable Mission of Asian Classics Input Project
About
You’re invited to the first live weekly Mixed Nuts Reading Club on-line get together!
Please join us for what will surely be a live and lively interactive discussion with Geshe Michael Roach and the Mixed Nuts scholars on Buddhist concepts and their potential to enhance our daily lives. The translation team’s name, “Mixed Nuts,” comes from the team’s favorite snack, insinuating they are a mixed bag of nutty, super brilliant, budding students of mixed cultures and ages who come together to learn how to translate the most important books of Buddhist scriptures into English.
What: Zoom Livestream Webinar
When: Thursdays at 6:00 PM Mountain Standard Time (Arizona Time)
And Zoom even offers a real-time multiple language translation feature!
