Join Sumi Loundon Kim, chaplain for the Buddhist Community at Duke University, for an evening
Community Conversation on Buddhism in America. In her talk, “Blue Jean Buddha: Tracing the
Generations of Buddhism in America,” Sumi explores the interplay between Buddhism and American
culture through the narrative of four generations in her family. She will explore how young Buddhists in
America today have drawn from and diverge from the Baby-Boom Buddhist generation, as well as what
the trends in American Buddhism indicate about its future.

Sumi Loundon Kim is the author of Blue Jean Buddha: Voices of Young Buddhists and The Buddha’s
Apprentice: More Voices of Young Buddhists.
In addition to serving as the chaplain for the Buddhist
Community at Duke University, she is the ordained lay minister for Buddhist Families of Durham.
