2009 Fall Seminar

Friday, November 6 – Saturday, November 7

Saint Barnabas Orthodox Church, Costa Mesa, California 92626 

Hieromonk Damascene (Christensen)

St Herman of Alaska Monastery, Platina, CA

Author of numerous books, including “Christ The Eternal Tao”

Not until now has the ancient wisdom of Lao Tzu been presented alongside the otherworldly revelation of Jesus Christ in a way that encompasses the full significance of both. Avoiding the common pitfalls of syncretism, Hieromonk Damascene, an Eastern Orthodox Christian monk and scholar – spiritual child of the famed Fr Seraphim Rose of Platina, CA – shows Lao Tzu as a Far-Eastern prophet of the Incarnate Word.

With its unfolding of spiritual history and practical, time – tested advice on how to unite oneself with the Incarnate Tao and acquire Uncreated Teh, this seminar will cover ground for the opening of one’s interior life. It will be a long – awaited Answer for those who, having turned away from modern Western religiosity, are drawn to the freshness, directness and simplicity of Lao Tzu and eastern philosophies, and at the same time are strangely, inexplicably drawn back to the all-compelling reality of Jesus Christ.
