PUBLIC LECTURE | Unfindable Mind: Bodhidharma’s Cure for Anxiety

🔹 PUBLIC LECTURE 🔹 Unfindable Mind: Bodhidharma’s Cure for Anxiety

🧘‍♀️ Presented by Arno Hess
📅 7:30 PM | Wednesday 8 October 2025
📍 Brisbane Theosophical Society

🔹 LECTURE CONTENT 🔹
Koans are short Zen stories that reveal insights beyond ordinary thought. In this talk, Arno reflects on Bodhidharma’s teaching from the Mumonkan—that peace cannot be grasped through searching, but may be found in the direct awareness of a “groundless mind.”

🔹 WHO IS ARNO?🔹
Arno Hess, a Brisbane-based Zen teacher and founder of Pathway Zen, guides students in meditation and koan practice within the Sanbozen tradition and leads the Inside Mindfulness Program, a volunteer-run rehabilitation course now offered in six Queensland correctional centres. Holding a master’s degree in Buddhist Studies and with a background in co-founding a technology-based manufacturing company, he is passionate about integrating Zen into everyday life and supporting others on that path.

Tea, Coffee and Conversation to follow!
