SUMMARY:Shamatha Meditation - Half Day + Potluck
DESCRIPTION:The Zoom button will appear below 15 minutes prior to the session (i.e.\, 8:45am on alternating first Sundays\, see below). If the button is not appearing\, first try refreshing your webpage. If it is still not appearing\, please email zoom@kcc.org for assistance. \nAt KCC\, the foundation of spiritual training is Shamatha\, a basic sitting meditation that develops stable attention and provides the basis for investigating more subtle aspects of awareness. The practice is the essential underpinning of all other meditation practices. While our minds are busy and distracted by a myriad of disconnected thoughts\, feelings\, and emotions\, it is not possible to deeply engage the meditation methods that could lead us to the intended result of directly recognizing the nature of mind. Shamatha is a direct method for learning to let the mind rest naturally\, free of our commitment to the tyranny of these distractions. \nLama Eric Triebelhorn provides detailed instructions about the practice of Shamatha on alternating first Sundays from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM\, followed by a potluck lunch. These Half-Day Sits happen in odd-numbered months: January\, March\, May\, July\, September\, and November. \nAll are welcome to attend.\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/half-day-meditation-2-3-3-2-3-2/

SUMMARY:BOOK GROUP—Joyfully Just: Black Wisdom and Buddhist Insights for Liberated Living
DESCRIPTION:KCC Book Group meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month.\n\n9:30 to 11:00 a.m. at KCC Portland Center (No Zoom)\n\nEveryone is welcome\nContact Cynthia@kcc.org if you have questions or would like to attend.\n\n\nMeets in person at the Portland Center to discuss the book Joyfully Just: Black Wisdom and Buddhist Insights for Liberated Living by Dr. Kamilah Majied.\n\n\n\nBuddhist practices for joy and justice\nJoyfully Just: Black Wisdom and Buddhist Insights for Liberated Living \nWhen the world feels cracked open\, it becomes apparent that we take false refuge regularly. Working with a book grounded in Buddhist theory and practice allows us to find true refuge. \n“The goal of this book is simple – to reclaim joy by using meditative practices to be just toward ourselves and the world around us…As we begin to see and face…all that we could not see and face before\, we become more free and thus more joyful. In Buddhism\, emancipation from delusion is itself enlightenment…Enlightenment comes from seeing the truth.” \n“I define meditative…practices as the activities we engage in to bring ourselves to the present moment in a way that reflects an embodied and integrated experience of our own minds\, hearts\, and bodies. True mindful or contemplative practice strengthens our compassion…” \n“Pause and look at the suffering that injustice has caused…in that pause we can experience the joy of clarity\, which is a precursor to the joy of healing… Our spirits\, bodies and minds need to be buoyant to navigate the unceasing waves…” \n“Community is one of our biggest resources!” \nWe meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month\, from 9:30 till 11:00. This book is available for purchase at KCC. For our first meeting\, please read the introduction. \nIn person only. If you have questions\, email Cynthia@kcc.org\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/book-group-home-is-here-practicing-antiracism-with-the-engaged-eightfold-path-4-2/2025-09-02/

SUMMARY:KCC Movie Night: The Dalai Lama's Gift
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening of The Dalai Lama’s Gift\, a powerful visual account of a magical moment in the history of Buddhism in America. \nWe’re thrilled to announce that director Ed Bastian will be sharing the finished cut of his film with us. He’ll kick things off with a personal welcome\, and after the screening\, he’ll join us live via Zoom for an interactive Q&A session. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to engage directly with the filmmaker behind the lens. \nThis event is open to all\, and we warmly welcome your presence. If you feel moved to support the offering\, we invite you to give Dana—a heartfelt gesture of appreciation. A suggested contribution of $5 helps sustain events like this. \nThe documentary explores the story of the Kalachakra initiation given by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Wisconsin in the 1980s\, a sacred tantric ritual never before performed outside of India or Tibet. What preceded was a remarkable journey: the building of a temple\, the overcoming of local resistance\,\nand the blossoming of spiritual community. \nOriginally filmed during the event\, the footage was stored in the Smithsonian vaults for over 40 years. Now restored and reassembled\, it offers a cinematic meditation on faith\, resilience\, and cultural transformation. \nLet’s gather\, learn\, and reflect together. We look forward to seeing you there! \nFor more about the movie\, visit the website here. \n \nTo attend from home: Use the Zoom button that appears below 15 minutes prior to the session (at 6:45pm). If the button is not appearing\, first try refreshing your webpage. If it is still not appearing\, please email zoom@kcc.org for assistance.\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/kcc-movie-night-the-dalai-lamas-gift/
