SUMMARY:Northwest Troubadour David Gordon Returns to Jacksonville
DESCRIPTION:Historic Jacksonville\, Inc. is delighted to announce that popular Northwest Troubadour\, David Gordon\, will be back in Jacksonville on Sunday\, May 4\, to perform a special concert of international love songs as a benefit for the town’s new “Museum without Walls”! \nLove is an international language\, and David will be drawing from his repertoire of English\, French\, Italian\, German\, Spanish\, and Old Scots music. He will also be singing an amazing love song from around 1160 in the language of Medieval Provencal\, one of the first love songs ever to be written down. \nIt was written by a court troubadour for Eleanor of Aquitaine—Duchess of Aquitaine\, Queen of France\, and Queen of England. As always\, David will share the stories behind the songs. \nThe concert will begin at 3pm on the 2nd floor of Jacksonville’s New City Hall at 206 North 5th Street. Parking is available on site and in adjacent areas. General admission is $25\, and reservations can be made at https://historicjacksonville.org/david-gordon/. Attendance is capped and concerts are open seating. Reservations will be checked at the door—there are no tickets. \nDavid Gordon is an internationally renowned opera singer\, acoustic guitarist\, and storyteller. The Washington Post called him “an irresistible performer.” He’s a life-long troubadour whose compelling voice\, keen sense of drama\, and wacky humor have charmed audiences worldwide for more than 40 years. David has performed in every major concert venue in the U.S. and Europe. His international performing and recording career in classical and acoustic music ranges from Bach to bluegrass\, from grand opera to jazz\, from Mozart to songs of the Oregon Trail. \nProceeds from these concerts will go towards funding a new Jacksonville “Museum without Walls.” Recognizing that the entire National Historic Landmark District is a museum\, Historic Jacksonville\, Inc. is partnering with the City of Jacksonville\, the Jacksonville Boosters\, and the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce to create a real and virtual experience that shares the stories of the people and circumstances of Jacksonville’s evolution from a gold rush camp into the 19th century hub of Southern Oregon; its decline to the “wrong side of the tracks” when the railroad bypassed the town but insured its preservation; and its 1960s revival\, the founding of Britt Festivals\, the creation of the Jacksonville Woodlands\, and the unique role the town now plays in Southern Oregon history. \nFor additional information\, contact 541-245-3650 or info@historicjacksonville.org.

SUMMARY:A Weekend Teaching with Lama Sarah Harding: The Total Flowering of Activity to Help Others; Profound Instructions of the Glorious Shangpa Kagyu
DESCRIPTION:In the 1970s\, the late\, great Kalu Rinpoche traveled extensively in the West\, including North America. Where there was interest among those listening to these early teachings\, Rinpoche gave the Chenrezig empowerment and recommended this service as a daily practice for anyone interested in Tibetan Buddhism and the strengthening of compassion. It had long been practiced at his monastery in India. \nLama Sarah will introduce the meditation\, and we will do the practice during the weekend. It includes The Four Thoughts Which Turn the Mind toward the Dharma\, Refuge and Bodhicitta\, and visualizing Chenrezig\, the Bodhisattva of Compassion\, as well as your primary teacher. \nThe practice unfolds as we meditate on compassion for all beings\, utilizing both Chenrezig’s mantra\, and the Tonglen practice of welcoming and offering. The meditation concludes with a renewing of concern for all beings and a dedication of the benefits of the practice to them. \nEspecially for this teaching visit\, Lama Sarah is providing a new edition of the service\, including a new translation. The wisdom dakini Niguma is associated with this practice\, so Lama Sarah will also teach on her translation of Niguma’s Aspiration Prayer. \nThis weekend will introduce the visualization style of meditation\, as well as the chance to deepen one’s connection to two compassion practices — Chenrezig and Tonglen. The teachings are suitable for those interested in learning more about either of these styles of meditation\, as well as those drawn to a new expression of compassion practice. \nSarah Harding has been studying and practicing Buddhism since 1974\, and has been teaching and translating since completing a three-year retreat in 1980 under the guidance of Kyabjé Kalu Rinpoché. She was associate professor at Naropa University for twenty-five years in Boulder\, Colorado\, where she currently resides\, and has been a fellow of the Tsadra Foundation since 2000. She specializes in literature with a focus on tantric practice. Her publications include Ornament of Dakpo Kagyu Thought; Creation and Completion; The Treasury of Knowledge: Esoteric Instructions; Niguma\, Lady of Illusion; and two volumes on Chö and Shijé from The Treasury of Precious Instructions. \nMay 2nd – 4th \nFriday\, 6:00 – 7:00 pm\nSaturday & Sunday\, 10:00 am – noon & 2:00 – 4:00 pm \nIn-person & via Zoom
