#GivingTuesday

The Rime Buddhist Center is proud to be a part of the global celebration of giving that is known as GivingTuesday. This year, December 3rd we invite you to make a commitment to a truly unique project. Building the first Tibetan Buddhist temple in Kansas City.

Our goal for GivingTuesday is raising $5,000 by the end of the day toward the down payment on the construction loan for the temple. Support us as we open the doors of loving-kindness and achieving peace through compassion.

Rime Social Justice Film Screening-Hale County This Morning

Tuesday, November 19, 2019 at 7:45 PM

In Hale County This Morning, This Evening, Ross offers an inspired and intimate portrait of a place and its people. The film presents Daniel Collins and Quincy Bryant, two young African American men from rural Hale County, Alabama, over the course of five years. Collins attends college in search of opportunity while Bryant becomes a father to an energetic son in an open-ended, poetic form that privileges the patiently observed interstices of their lives. The audience is invited to experience the mundane and monumental, birth and death, the quotidian and the sublime, all of which combine to communicate the region’s deep culture and glimpse the complex ways the African American community’s collective image is integrated into America’s visual imagination.

Rime Center Social Justice – Fall Book Discussion

Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 7:45 PM

Antiracism is a transformative concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about racism—and, even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. At its core, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race, from the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colors to the way we treat people of different sexes, gender identities, and body types. Racism intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see and value ourselves. In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas—from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities—that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly, understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves.
