SUMMARY:Dharma Crafts Workshop: Creating Buddha Images
DESCRIPTION:RESCHEDULED DATE! \nIN-PERSON Only \nThe creation of Buddha images (kupar\, in Tibetan) has been a religious activity for Buddhist practitioners for centuries.  \nIt is said that the creation of Buddha images (particularly those created using a tikse\, a compositional framework based on harmonious mathematical proportions) cultivates immense virtue\, as these images can plant the seed of awakening in all who encounter them. \nIn this workshop\, Lama Karma Wangdu will show us how to cast Buddha images in plaster to take home for our own spiritual practice\, or to donate to KTC’s bookstore. \nLama Kathy will explain the history and traditions behind image creation  \nThis three-hour experience will bring you closer to the practice of the buddhadharma and your spiritual center\, while making an image you can take with you and use at home. \nThe $5 base donation requested for the class will help us with material purchases. Donations over the cost of materials will benefit KTC’s Operations Fund. \nAttendance is limited to 15\, so we have enough materials and workstations for everyone to make one image. Thanks in advance for your understanding! \nIF YOU DO NOT HAVE FINANCIAL MEANS to attend\, please contact the organizer at kmwesley@me.com and you will be registered at no cost. \nCan’t attend but want to help KTC’s Operations Fund? Hop over to our KTC donations page at this  link:  https://www.columbusktc.org/donate/ \n  \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Chökhor Duchen Festival of Aspirations
DESCRIPTION:By Tango7174 – Own work\, CC BY-SA 4.0\, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10516495 \nChökhor Du Chen is one of Four Great Occasions (“Du Chen” in Tibetan) commemorating pivotal events in the life of the Buddha. Chökhor (“wheel-turning” in Tibetan) commemorates the First Teaching given by the Buddha in Varanasi\, 49 days after his experience of enlightenment. \nSince these days are related to important events in the life of the Buddha\, it is said that the effects of virtuous (and non-virtuous!) actions done on this day are multiplied millions of times. Therefore\, dharma practice is emphasized on these days. \nTo take advantage of the blessings of this day\, KTC will offer a session of Aspirational Prayers for Chökhor Du Chen beginning at 9:30 AM at KTC and on Zoom. \nThe one-hour prayer program starting at 9:30 am\, will include a prayer of offering and praise to the Buddha\, as well as one of the five main “monlams” (aspiration prayers) recited in the Kagyu tradition.. \nSaying these prayers and reciting the Buddha’s words helps us accumulate a mind of virtue\, which in turn helps us see the power of love and wisdom in our lives and sets our spiritual course – both now\, and in the future. \nWEATHER PERMITTING\, we will follow the prayer service with a Stupa Offering Ceremony at 10:30 AM. The KTC Shrine Room will be open for personal prayers and practice until 11:30 AM. \nPrayers we will be reciting can be downloaded at these links: \n\nThe Tashi Prayer (usually recited before the Chenrezig practice at KTC): https://www.columbusktc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/8-Auspicious-Tashi-prayer-1.pdf\nRefuge and Dedications: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1l8qrfwy71xexhf/refuge%20and%20dedications%20.pdf?dl=0\nThe Lama Rinpochema Prayer (usually recited in place of Khenpo Karthar Rinpoché’s longevity supplication): https://www.columbusktc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Lama-Rinpochema.Both-translations.pdf\nPraise of the Twelve Deeds of the Buddha: https://www.columbusktc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Praise-of-the-12-Deeds-of-Buddha.pdf\nDedication from “The Way of the Bodhisattva”: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d4fcy48vtw8kz3t/Dedication%20from%20Bodhicaryavatara.pdf?dl=0

SUMMARY:Learning Sadhanas on Saturday: Green Tara
DESCRIPTION:Mantra meditation is one of the easiest and most accessible practices of Tibetan Buddhism. \nVisualizing oneself as a Buddha or bodhisattva while reciting a mantra and making aspirations for the benefit of beings is a powerful way to connect to our own inner goodness and send love\, compassion and wisdom to other beings. \nSince many mantra meditation texts (called “sadhana” texts) are recited in Tibetan\, they can be a little difficult to approach. But KTC wants to help everyone feel comfortable and welcome to attend our weekly sadhana practices\, so we are offering regular workshops on our regular sadhana practices.  \nThis particular session will cover the Green Tara (Bodhisattva of Active Compassion) mantra practice.  \nTopics covered will include the history of the sadhana\, the principles of mantra meditation\, and step-by-step instructions on how to learn and benefit from Tibetan Buddhist visualization meditation. \nPractitioners of all experience levels are welcome to attend. There are no special prerequisites for this class. Students will receive links to download a PDF of the Green Tara chant practice and a PDF of a teaching outline for the class.  \nAttendance is by donation. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE financial means\, or have difficulty registering online\, please write lamakathy@columbusktc.org and she will register you at no cost. Those signing up for Zoom instruction must have an internet connection\, email capability\, and download the Zoom application in order to attend. Zoom software is available here: https://zoom.us \n  \nLink to download the Green Tara sadhana:\nhttps://www.columbusktc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Green-Tara-8-by-11.final_.pdf \nOutline for the class:\nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/zovmup4u15siy4j/Outline.CJ.Green%20Tara%20Sadhana%202020.pdf?dl=0 \n  \nRegister here
