SUMMARY:The Total Flowering of Activity to Help Others: Profound Instructions of the Glorious Shangpa Kagyu\, A Special Weekend Retreat with Lama Sarah Harding:
DESCRIPTION:In the 1970s\, the late\, great Kalu Rinpoche traveled extensively in the West\, including North America. \nWhere 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. \nKagyu Sukha Choling\, Ashland\nFriday\, May 2 (6 -7 pm)\, Introduction\nSaturday and Sunday\, May 3 – 4 (10 am – noon & 2 – 4pm) \nBase Tuition: $140\nReduced Tuition (for financial need): $90

SUMMARY:How do you reconcile a lynching? A story of justice and redemption
DESCRIPTION:This event will focus on the legacy of Alonzo Tucker\, Oregon’s most widely documented African American victim of lynching\, and how his memory has inspired a movement for historical reconciliation. \nTaylor Stewart will share about how the search for an answer to this question transformed his life and taught him the potential to find true justice for Oregon’s history of racial injustice. \n“This story is not just about reconciliation; it’s about finding a way to heal and foster hope in our communities\,” Stewart explains. “By confronting these painful narratives\, we can begin to foster understanding and pave the way for a more just future.” \nGabrielle Johnsen\, founder of Grants Pass Remembrance (from Sundown to Sunrise) and Community Engagement Director of ORP\, will join the discussion. A Q&A session will follow. \nPlease register for the event at: https://ashlandtogether.org/event/how-do-you-reconcile-a-lynching-a-story-of-justice-and-redemption. \nMeese Auditorium address and directions are on the website.

SUMMARY:Thursday Evening Calm Abiding Meditaion
DESCRIPTION:This meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In this practice\, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support\, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do\, we release them and maintain our connection to the support. \n“From this practice\, we can experience a stable and calm mind. We learn to maintain and return to a sense of stillness\, no matter what our outer circumstances. The mind is relaxed\, alert and aware. The results of this practice are serenity\, freedom in the face of circumstances\, and ultimately Buddhahood.” \nFrom Meditation for Beginners\, by Bokar Rinpoche. \nTo attend Calm Abiding Meditation via Zoom\, email the office at OFFICE@KSCASHLAND.ORG to join the mailing list. \n
