Dr. Geoffrey Redmond is leading Western expert on the I Ching (Book of Changes). This talk is based on Dr. Redmond's recently published book, The I Ching (Book of Changes): A Critical Translation of the Ancient Text. The I Ching, a Chinese spiritual classic, has been in continuous use for 3,000 years, not only for fortune-telling, but for self-cultivation as well. It continues to be revered in China and has attracted widespread interest in the West beginning in the sixties.
Dr. Redmond’s lucid new translation dispels much of the obscurity of this often enigmatic text, making it understandable for any interested reader. He will show how recent archeological discoveries and advances in Chinese linguistics shed light on the ancient meanings.
Those attending this interactive program will learn how the I Ching works, both as ancient literature and as a means of divination.
