ABZ Sangha member Ofosu Jones-Quartrly aka Born I had a sell out crowd for his Album release and Book release last Saturday at the Arts Barn in Gaithersburg, MD. In attendance sangha member Seiry Paula Chiplis writes about her expereince at the event.
—“Born I invited us into a creative space bringing forth the presence and teachings of the Buddha, the inspiriation of Brooklyn rapper and firefighter Ka, and the inspiring life of Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh . Harpist Kim Sator provided music to accompany the spoken words of Born I.
Beginning in ritual we (the audience) became part of a lyrical unfolding of a larger-than-large, honest, and wide-open heart experience. Of note, the evening’s event followed a massive rain storm that flooded the Silver Spring-DC area. An unforgettable evening!”
