SUMMARY:Taller Than a Mountain SESSION THREE
DESCRIPTION:How do you live and act ethically in a complex and changing world? And how do you relate with integrity and love to the workings of wealth and power? \nIn Tamil-speaking south India\, the Kural is revered as a guide to goodness and good sense in the nitty-gritty of daily life. Its great practicality\, openness\, and ecological wisdom make it strikingly relevant to our time. Yet this masterpiece of world literature\, on par with the Tao Te Ching\, has long lacked translations that make its guidance\, vision\, and playfulness available in English. In 2022\, Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma published a translation that has been acclaimed as “without doubt the best ever into English.” This May and June\, he is offering a course on the Kural for people concerned about the social and ecological discord in the world and in search for ways to infuse their lives and actions with greater strength\, integrity\, and love. \nIt’s being offered at a price that you set yourself as a way to practice one of the Kural’s key teachings: honoring what fits each person\, place\, and situation.

SUMMARY:School of Kural: Thirukkural's Place among World Philosophies of Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:I’m delighted to be speaking on a panel about The Kural at the Singapore Writers Festival. Here is a description of this multilingual discussion: \nWritten by the Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar\, and translated into more than 40 languages\, the Thirukkural is a classic book of Tamil wisdom poetry. Where is the place of the Thirukkural among world philosophies of wisdom? This panel session contemplates on what if the Kural had been a major school of thought along the likes of well-renowned philosophies from different parts of the world. How would\, and could it have informed and changed the course of global history? Hear from speakers Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma\, Dr Azhar Ibrahim\, and Chow Teck Seng who share the insights they glean from the Kural on universal ethics and morality and read and discuss translations of the Kural into Chinese\, Malay\, and English. \nThis programme is made possible with the support of the U.S. Embassy Singapore and co-presented with Poetry Festival Singapore.

SUMMARY:Riches of the Ear: A Celebration of Words and Wonder
DESCRIPTION:I’m delighted to be performing at the Singapore Writers Festival. Here is a description of this multidisciplinary and multilingual event: \nWhat magic can happen if we dare to listen to our hearts? In this original performance\, the author and teacher Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma combines poetry\, magic\, story\, and song to explore the art of listening. He draws on the classical Tamil masterpiece on ethics\, power\, and love\, Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukkural\, and on other beloved poets in Tamil\, Spanish\, and English\, to explore what Thiruvalluvar calls “riches among riches\, the highest of all other riches.” \nThis performance is followed by a 30-min bilingual Meet-The-Author session with Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma in English and Tamil. The MTA session is co-presented with the Centre for Singapore Tamil Culture and the National Library Board. \nThis programme is made possible with the support of the U.S. Embassy Singapore.

SUMMARY:Everyone Receives Rain: A Journey with Avvaiyar
DESCRIPTION:I’m delighted to be speaking about Avvaiyar at the Singapore Writers Festival. Here is a description of my upcoming lecture: \nWhy would a budding writer and poet in English become an apprentice to a 12th century Tamil woman\, poet\, and saint? What’s so compelling about Avvaiyar that Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma spent years learning from her? Tamil literature has given women of wisdom a revered place for more than 2\,000 years. In this lecture\, Thomas tells the story of his translation of Avvaiyar and explores what she and her tradition can teach us about honouring words\, each other\, and the earth beneath our feet. \nThis lecture is co-presented with the Centre for Singapore Tamil Culture and the National Library Board\, and is made possible with the support of the U.S. Embassy Singapore.

SUMMARY:Ethics\, Power\, and Love for a Changing World with Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma
DESCRIPTION:I’m delighted to be speaking about the Kural in conversation with actor Jeanne Dougherty at Vashon Center for the Arts (VCA). \nIf you live in the region\, I most heartily encourage you to attend in person. \nIf you live elsewhere\, I encourage you\, equally as heartily\, to watch the livestream free or by donation. \nHere’s a description of the event: \nIn South India\, the Kural is revered as a guide to practicing goodness and good sense in daily life. Yet this masterpiece of world literature\, on par with the Tao Te Ching and the poetry of Rumi\, has long lacked translations that make its wisdom available in English. In honor of National Poetry Month\, Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma reads from his new translation and speaks with actor Jeanne Dougherty about his twenty-year journey to bring it to life. Whether you attend in person or online\, he hopes that you’ll come away feeling inspired\, reconnected to your own sources of knowing\, and reminded of truths that can help all of us navigate times of great change with grace. \nCopies of the Kural may be purchased from the Vashon Bookshop beforehand or at the reading itself.
