Claudio Naranjo Book Launch
On Saturday, June 19, 2010, Tibetan Aid Project and Dharma Publishing hosted a book launch for acclaimed author Dr. Claudio Naranjo. Dr. Naranjo talked about his latest book Healing Civilization and a previous book he authored called The Way of Silence and the Talking Cure. With roughly sixty people in attendance, Dr. Naranjo discussed male dominance or patriarchy as being the ‘root problem’ of civilization’s sickness across the globe. He went on to say that by introducing a more balanced approach to education and taking an interest in the happiness of the learners rather than strictly an intellectual system of learning, Dr. Naranjo believes we can cure the illness.
Dharma Publishing was pleased with the opening of their newly renovated bookstore, selling out of both of Dr. Naranjo’s books. The bookstore no longer has bars occupying the front facing windows and has several other additional improvements.
We were honored to meet so many new faces within this community who attended the book launch. Thanks to Philz Coffee for donating two wonderful brews of their signature coffees as well as The Cheeseboard for their generous donation of several different types of cheeses as well as fresh baked breads! And thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who helped with this event!
