Introduction to Vajrayana: A Practice Intensive with Lama Kathy and Lama Tom
2025-05-09 19:00 - 20:00, 2025-05-12 19:00 - 21:00, 2025-05-16 19:00 - 20:00, 2025-05-19 19:00 - 21:00, 2025-05-23 19:00 - 20:00 | Zoom Meeting
This event will be ONLINE ONLY..
The historical Buddha Shakyamuni taught a progressive path to spiritual awakening, starting with mindfulness and ethical behavior, followed by the conscious development of love and compassion as spiritual principles, and the understanding of the limitless nature of mind.
Over time, these three distinct phases of his teachings became known as the “Three Yanas” – the Path of Individual Liberation (Hinayana); the Path of Liberation for All Beings (Mahayana); and the Path of the Indestructible Nature (Vajrayana). Each of these “yanas,” or paths, led the aspirant further along the path of awakening.
This three-week intensive will introduce us to the view and meditation of the Vajrayana, giving an overview of two particular Vajrayana practices – Mantra Meditation and Mahamudra Meditation – which help the student reveal their inner Buddha Nature.
We will meet for three Monday evenings and three Friday evenings on Zoom to learn about Vajrayana meditation and practice it together.
Periods of meditation will be interspersed with advice about how to use the principles of Buddha Nature in everyday life.

Although we’re returning to in-person programs, we will still be serving our Zoom and livestream audiences. So you might see signs in the Classroom and Shrine Room reminding you that by entering the room, you agree to be seen on camera for the folks watching from home.
You can find the full schedule for the current week and instructions to join our online sessions in our virtual shrine room.

Thanks to the work of a dedicated core of volunteers, the KTC Children’s Class started with smiles and applause in October 2023.

Meeting in the Children’s Room on the lower level of the KTC from 11:30 to 12:30 on the First and Third Sundays of the month, youths ages 5-10 practice meditation together, hear stories told by the Buddha about virtuous actions (called Jataka Tales), do yoga poses, make crafts, play games and light candles on the special Youth Shrine and pray for those in need.

Activities are aimed at younger children, but those up to age 12 are welcome to attend.

Please register your child ahead of time through our Eventbrite link here: https://www.eventbrite.com/…/ktc-childrens-program…
