Visiting Chinese Hermits with Red Pine

Bill Porter (a.k.a Red Pine) is an American author who translates under the pen-name Red Pine. He is a translator and interpreter of Chinese texts, primarily Taoist and Buddhist, including poetry and Sūtras.

In September, 2013, we invited him to visit Taos.  He gave a lecture and slide presentation on his travels to China where he encountered Taoist Hermits and visited Zen Buddhist temples. Seeing the beautiful images of Chinese landscape and how the hermits and monks live and practice was very inspiring.
