Reno Buddhist Center and Trinity Episcopal are partnering to present  Mission: Joy [FINDING HAPPINESS IN TROUBLED TIMES]. Everyone is invited to our joint screening of the new film. It is a fun and intimate look at the interfaith friendship between the 14th Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Lets recreate their friendship by watching the film with new friends from Trinity Episcopal community and the Reno Buddhist community!

$5 suggested, but whatever you can is fine. 

Mission Joy invites viewers into an intimate experience of deeply moving conversations. These two joyful people share hilarious banter bordering on the silly. And in the next moment, experience profound wisdom shared between the two spiritual leaders and friends. The conversations were also the basis for the New York Times bestseller, The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World.  If you've read it, come see them live in action as captured by the filmmakers.
*Following the film we will have a brief sharing session with Rev. Matthew of RBC and Rev Stephen of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. 
The film will be presented in the main hall at Reno Buddhist Center,

About  Shaun Griffin  Nevada Writers Hall of Fame member - 
His soulful poetry and engagement with Nevada communities make him one of the state’s most well-loved literary figures. He is the author of "This is What the Desert Surrenders", "Bathing in the River of Ashes and Woodsmoke", "Wind and the Peregrine", among others. Recurring themes in his poetry are "... family, landscape and work for justice in the larger world." 

From Griffin: “I believe poetry has a central role in our lives – if we slow down and find the one poem that excites us. From there on, it is like returning to a fountain for fresh water. We can be a culture of poetry readers…if we listen for the voice lying dormant on the shelves.”
