Please ensure javascript is enabled to watch video

Australian designer Jenny Kee shares tales from her spiritual journey, including her Chinese family’s conversion to Christianity at the turn of the century on the Queensland goldfields; her meeting with a Buddhist forest monk in the hills of Thailand and the events following the death of her partner that finally led her to Tibetan Buddhism.

Titled ‘The heart of the waratah: my spiritual journey’, this talk was presented in association with the exhibition The lost Buddhas: Chinese Buddhist sculpture from Qingzhou at the Art Gallery of NSW and has been recorded in three parts.
