SUMMARY:Children's Program
DESCRIPTION:Please note: The schedule for the Children’s Program has been adjusted through September. Please check the KCC calendar for upcoming dates. \nThe KCC Children’s Program is an opportunity to introduce children to Buddhist values within a supportive\, sincere dharma community using simple dharma activities\, storytelling\, open discussion\, songs\, art projects and activities\, including play\, to promote kindness and compassion. Our goal is to provide a fun\, meaningful experience for all. \nSunday Morning Children’s Program \nOn the second and fourth Sundays of each month\, from 9:00 to 11:00 am\, we offer the Sunday Morning Children’s Program. This program normally starts in September and runs through the second Sunday in June. In July and August we meet once a month on the fourth Sunday. We require that at least one parent or guardian be present at KCC when their child attends. \nThe age range we currently serve is 6 to 12; however\, we do allow slightly younger and older children on a case by case basis as appropriate. Please feel free to discuss this with the program coordinator\, Laurie Simpson\, if needed. Email contact here. \nWhile there is no fee for the program\, dana (offerings) are accepted and go towards helping us continue providing programs such as these. In order to support the program on Sundays we ask that parents agree to be available to assist the teacher if needed – this is a shared role and can be filled by parents or other adults who wish to participate in this way. During the regular school year please note that we request you consider committing to bringing your child both Sundays each month throughout this time frame\, but this is not required. \nAlso please be aware that\, to attend this program\, your child needs to be able to manage their speech and physical activity cooperatively in a small group to help maintain a peaceful children’s sangha. If this is a concern we ask that you attend with your child until they are comfortable with the group. Ultimately we want to be as inclusive as possible\, but must also work to create a safe and welcoming environment for all attending.\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/childrens-program-2-3-2-2/2025-09-14/

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: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/
