Austin will soon observe its third annual Change Your Mind Day. From the press release:

Buddhism has come to Austin and is here to stay: There are nearly a score of Buddhist organizations in Austin to date, from temples to weekly meditation and discussion groups, representing several Asian ethnicities as well as the new American Buddhism, with growing numbers of ordained monks and nuns along with lay practitioners. To promote awareness of this growing movement in Austin’s religious and cultural landscape, on June 5 “Change Your Mind Day” will bring teachers and representatives from most of Austin’s Buddhist centers to a friendly public setting for a day of introductory talks, meditation instruction, chanting, tea ceremony, Buddhist art, and other events, free of charge to the general public.

For more information, visit Buddhism in Austin. This event is hosted by the Austin Zen Center, sponsored by the Buddhist Peace Fellowship, and presented by Tricycle: the Buddhist Review.
