SUMMARY:Shamatha Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness Meditation is our foundation as practicing Buddhists. By practicing basic quiet sitting meditation (called Shamatha in Sanskrit)\, we develop more awareness of our thoughts and motivations. As a result\, an innate gentleness toward ourselves and others emerges. \nExtended periods of shamatha meditation help us deepen our practice by giving us a chance to work with thoughts\, distractions\, and resistance that may not come up in shorter meditation sessions. \nLama Kathy Wesley will provide brief talks at intervals during the retreat. She will also be available for interviews with participants who would like to discuss their practice. \nKTC Meditation Instructor and Director Chuck Drake will act as umdze. \nThe program will be offered in-person only at KTC. Those attending should bring a vegetarian sack lunch. Water\, coffee\, and tea will be provided. \nTo promote a mindful atmosphere\, Functional Talking (i.e.\, only for essential quick communication) will be strongly encouraged. \nIf you’d like to attend only part of this retreat\, you are welcome to do so.  When you arrive\, quietly join the retreatants in the shrine room. \nABOUT LAMA KATHY  \nKathy Wesley (Lama Gyurme Chötsö) has been a student of Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche since 1977. She participated in the first three-year retreat led by Khenpo Rinpoche at Karmé Ling Retreat Center in upstate New York\, and thus earned the title of ‘retreat lama.’ Lama Kathy serves at the Columbus Karma Thegsum Chöling as its Resident Teacher and travels to other Buddhist centers throughout the country to share the dharma. She lives in Newark\, Ohio with her husband\, Mike. \nABOUT CHUCK DRAKE \nChuck Drake is a meditation instructor for Columbus KTC though he now spends most of his time serving as KTC’s administrative Director. Chuck took refuge with Khenpo Karthar in 1981 and\, in 1988\, he attended a summer-long buddhist seminary at Rocky Mountain Dharma Center in Colorado. Chuck started attending Columbus KTC regularly in 2012.  He has also served as Treasurer and Assistant Director. Chuck is married to Mylynda Drake. Except for his KTC duties\, he is now retired. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Sharing the Blessings of Milarepa’s Life: A Reading Transmission Event
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM AVAILABLE IN-PERSON AND ON ZOOM\nWhen we hear about Buddhist masters of the past\, their amazing stories of dedication\, devotion\, and accomplishment can be stirring and inspiring. Still\, we might wonder: how can we who study dharma today possibly connect to their lives and examples? \nThe Tibetan tradition provides a bridge for these blessings to come to us from ages past – the tradition of Reading Transmission. \nAs a lama reads the text in its original form in a quick and fluid fashion\, students meditate that the words melt into their hearts\, purifying negativity\, building positive qualities\, and uplifting their capacity to manifest wisdom and compassion.  \nThe sound itself can be an object of meditation\, inviting listeners to dwell in the practice of Shamatha and Vipassana. \nReading Transmissions also are thought to bring blessing to the places they are given\, steeping them in wisdom written on the pages. \nColumbus Karma Thegsum Chöling is honored to be hosting its very first long-form Reading Transmission Aug. 29-31 with Lama Karma Drodhul\, nephew of KTC founder Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche\, reading “The Life of Milarepa\,” an inspiring story of devotion\, compassion\, wisdom and redemption by the Tsangnyön Heruka. \nMilarepa is universally revered in Tibet as a great yogi who overcame immense evil and obstacles and gained Buddhahood in a single lifetime. \nMany of his songs are teachings in themselves\, some of them pointing out the futility of worldly life\, some pointing out the nature of mind itself.  \nThe transmission will be given in five sessions: four two-hour sessions beginning Friday evening Aug. 29\, and continuing Saturday and Sunday Aug. 30 and 31\, and one one-hour session given after the Sunday Morning Dharma Talk on Sunday Aug. 31. \nIntermixed with the reading\, Lama Karma will give short talks and instructions to help participants connect to the blessings of Milarepa and his story. \n***** \nALL SESSIONS ARE IN-PERSON at the Columbus KTC Center\, 645 W. RIch Street\, Columbus\, OH. Ideally participants will attend all sessions\, but Lama Karma said there is blessing in attending even just one session. \nZOOM ATTENDANCE will be by application only. Lama Karma has asked that participants must have received the vow of Buddhist Refuge\, and must attend all online sessions.  \nNo audio or video recording is permitted. \nATTENDANCE IS BY DONATION. If you lack funds to attend\, please send a message to kmwesley@me.com and request a free ticket. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. \nNEED THE REFUGE VOW TO ATTEND? Contact kmwesley@me.com to be on the list for the Refuge Ceremony at 6 PM Friday Aug. 29. \nWe hope you can join us for this special blessing. \n******** \nABOUT LAMA KARMA:\nLama Karma is a Tibetan Buddhist teacher and past president of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra Monastery in Woodstock\, NY. He also is the nephew of KTD’s first Abbot\, Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche\, and assisted Khenpo Rinpoche at KTD. As a youth\, Lama Karma excelled in all aspects of dharma study at Thrangu Monastery and Thrangu Rinpoche sent him to the United States. to deepen his understanding of the dharma under the tutelage of Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche. \nIn March 2004\, Lama Karma completed his first\, and in February 2008 his second\, traditional three-year\, three-month retreat under Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche at Karme Ling Retreat Center.
