SUMMARY:Stabilizing Recognition of the Nature of Mind
DESCRIPTION:e \n“To begin with\, the nature of\nthe mind needs to be recognized.\nIn the middle\, it needs to become familiar.\nAt the end\, there needs to be oneness.” \n                                                            – Gampopa                         \nWe are pleased to welcome Ringu Tulku Rinpoche back to KCC this autumn. Rinpoche will be teaching from Chapter 9: “Stabilizing Recognition of the Nature of Mind” from his book Confusion Arises as Wisdom: Gampopa’s Heart Advice on the Path of Mahamudra.  \nThis book is a collection of dialogues between Gampopa and his students\, where Gampopa addresses such questions as: “What is the nature of our mind and how do we come to recognize it?” His responses are spoken in plain\, direct language in the form of heart advice for practicing and recognizing the nature of mind. \nGampopa\, a twelfth-century Buddhist monk in Tibet\, was one of the principal disciples of the great yogi Milarepa. He is known for joining the sutra mahamudra teachings of the Kadampa school with the tantra mahamudra teachings of Milarepa’s lineage and sharing these instructions widely. \nRingu Tulku Rinpoche makes Gampopa’s pith instructions wonderfully accessible by combining his extensive scholarship and deep practice with his gentle\, warm\, and often humorous manner of transmitting the Dharma. Practitioners of all levels are sure to benefit from Rinpoche’s practical style of sharing the teachings. Please join us for a weekend of heart advice for turning our own confusion into wisdom. \nProgram Schedule \nFriday\, November 7th\n6:30 – 8:00 PM \nSaturday and Sunday\, November 8th and 9th\n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\n3:00 PM – 4:30 PM \nRingu Tulku Rinpoche’s extensive website contains much valuable information about his activities\, including a brief biography. \nIn Person Registration \nZOOM REGISTRATION \n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/ringu-tulku-rinpoche-on-sustaining-recognition-of-the-nature-of-mind/

SUMMARY:Shamatha Meditation - Half Day + Potluck
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held in person and over Zoom. \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. This practice is the essential underpinning of all other meditation practices. \nWhile 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. \nJoin for Shamatha Meditation Online \nClick the Zoom button below to enter the session. If you join early\, you’ll be placed in a waiting room until the session begins. \nDepending on your Zoom settings\, you may be asked to enter a passcode for this event. \nPasscode: 798448 \nIf you experience any issues accessing the session\, please reach out via email at zoom@kcc.org. \nJOIN ON ZOOM\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/half-day-meditation-2-3-3-2-3-3/2025-11-02/

SUMMARY:Engaged Buddhism Meeting
DESCRIPTION:There are two wings to our practice – wisdom and compassion. If we only exercise one wing\, we cannot fly. \nIn this brief get-together we hope to brainstorm ways of working our wing of compassion in our homes\, our neighborhoods\, our world. \nOf course\, to do this skillfully we must keep the wing of wisdom and equanimity-towards-all working simultaneously. How can KCC members support each other in this difficult work? Join us to share your ideas. \n“Hope Is a Strategy\, And Community Is the Front Line” \nAmid the danger\, the civil rights leader Eric Ward calls on everyday Americans to show moral courage—not forged in battle\, but in unity. “Courage starts with a breath\,” he says. “We need to stop panicking\, support our local governments\, and rejoin civic life even if it’s just quilting clubs or faith groups. Presence in community is resistance.” \nQuestions? Contact Cynthia@kcc.org\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/engaged-buddhism-meeting/
