Kansas City’s 1st Annual Sutra Resounding. Buddhist groups from around the metro came together to celebrate Saga Dawa/Vesak by reading Sutras aloud. The event was hosted by the Rime Buddhist Center with support from 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha.

Explore the bold colors, strange creatures, and exquisitely beautiful images used on the path to enlightenment. Continue reading

Tonglen is the associated meditation practice and it assists in training the mind to relate compassionately with what we prefer to push away and learn to give away and share that which we hold most dear.

Chronic illness is like all of life’s challenges that suddenly and persistently impinge on what has been our usual day to day functioning: we are no longer the same person we considered our self to be previously. A new obstacle whether we feel too poorly to get out of bed, have a new limp or swagger, become responsible unexpectedly for the well being of another human, loose the ability to express our self with the same grandeur, or can no longer drive—all are as limiting as we allow them to be. The biggest problem is that it is incredibly hard not to take the situation personally and thus add to the difficulty of adapting to our or our loved one’s changed situation/condition. Discussion will encompass all these issues as well as learning how to begin bringing obstacles to our spiritual paths so we can live a satisfying life. Continue reading
