This month the Rime Center and the Rainbow Body Meditation Group will be celebrating pride month.

Join us online Thursdays at 7:30 pm for our Trans Buddhist Voices class. While trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary practitioners have experienced empowerment and healing through their commitment to the Three Jewels, they also share their experiences of isolation, transphobia, and aggression. In the book Transcending we will read about the firsthand accounts, thoughts, and reflections. You will need to register to get the Zoom lin.

• Sunday, June 6th, Circe Namkha Rangdrol will be giving the Dharma Talk. You can also read her article on ‘What is it like to be transgender and Buddhist?‘.
• June 13th, Fanny Mandelberger will be giving the Dharma talk.
• June 27th, Rime Board member and class facilitator, Nicole Esquibel will give the Dharma talk. Continue reading →

In the face of such global problems as the effect of global heating and depletion of the ozone layer, individual organizations and single nations are helpless. Unless we all work together, no solution can be found. Our mother earth is teaching us a lesson in universal responsibility.
