Please join us Friday, March 20th for a conversation with Musan Cho Oh-hyun.

Cho Oh-hyun, who writes under the Buddhist name Musan, was born in 1932 in
Miryang, South Gyeongsang Province of Korea. He has lived in the mountains
since he became a novice monk at the age of seven. In 2007, he received the
Cheong Chi-yong Literary Award for his book Distant Holy Man. The lineage
holder of the Mt. Gaji school of Korean Nine Mountains Zen, he is in
retreat as the head of Baekdamsa Temple at Mt. Seoraksan.

A symposium celebrating Korean poetry and Cho Oh-hyun's works in particular
has been organized by the Center for Korean Studies. The event will host a
number of well known writers, musicians, academics, and scholars—a
celebration of Korean Literature on the Global Stage.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear Cho Oh-hyun speak and get a book
of his poetry autographed by the author and translator, free.
