The Buddhist Way of Loving-Kindness @ Tushita Kadampa Buddhist Center
Tickets
Apr 4 @ 7:00 pm – 8:15 pm

Love is the supreme medicine. In Buddhism, love is a mind that wishes others to be happy, a mind that has immense good qualities, a mind that is perfected with practice both in and out of meditation. By relying on the instructions of the great Geshe Langri Tangpa, who explained how to easily train in loving-kindness, we will strive to improve our own experience of this supreme medicine.

Join us as we navigate the path that leads to personal and universal freedom and happiness. We will learn how to tap into our love, overcome obstacles to our love, and increase our capacity to love more deeply and broadly. We can all benefit from these teachings.

Everyone is welcome regardless of experience.

Laughing Mater April Comedy Showcase 2019 @ Alma Mater
Tickets
Apr 5 @ 8:30 pm

Some say laughter is the best medicine and they’re not wrong. They’re not 100% right, but also not wrong.

Every first Friday you can come get the best and only medicine we are technically allowed to prescribe: laughter. Each month, we strive to bring you some of the funniest travelling and local comedians this world has to offer, all for the low price of $10.

Our glorious line-up for the month is:

Host:
Jill Silva
Jill has been called “a menace”, “loud” and “sometimes dry.” She’s featured in Baltimore’s XFest, Seattle’s Intersections Fest and recently competed in NYC’s Devil Cup. She co-produces two comedy gems in Tacoma: Bob’s Comedy Jive and Laughing Mater.

Featuring:
Khadija Hassan has produced several shows in Olympia including the very popular Roast Roulette. She’s opened for the likes of Kurt Braunohler and was the first comedian to be featured on Olympia Pop Rocks.

Chris Mejia seamlessly blends fun pop culture observations with takes on harder subjects like living with Lupus and being a POC. Chris has opened for national headliners such as Jak Knight and Kiry Shabazz and is a paid regular at the Comedy Underground and Laughs Comedy Club in Seattle.

Maddie Downes is a writer, comedian and actor. She has performed at the Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival, the SheDot Comedy Festival, and the Macefield Music Festival Comedy Stage. Her plays have featured in the Seattle Fringe Festival and Four Story House.

Headlining:
Shanna Christmas keeps audiences on edge due to her sweet and approachable looks, yet sharp, direct and salty humor. She’s adorable, but always bothered. She’s been seen at Laffs Café in Tucson, Stand Up Live in Phoenix, The Laugh Factory (Hollywood and Las Vegas), Improv (Hollywood, Tempe), and Comedy Works in Denver. She won The 2018 Devil’s Cup Comedy Competition (New York).

Treasury of Merit – with Gen Khedrub and Gen Wangpo @ KMC Washington
Tickets
Apr 6 @ 9:00 am

About the Event
Imagination is a powerful tool for visualizing desired outcomes. Imagining an assembly of Buddhas in what is called the Field of Merit gives us an opportunity to develop a unique relationship with these holy beings, bringing about extraordinary personal transformation. This practice is the basis of many Buddhist rituals for purifying negativity and accumulating positive energy, or merit. Come learn how to have meaningful and transformative experiences simply by developing the power of imagination.

This course, led by Gen Khedrub from Seattle and Gen Wangpo from Olympia, provides an opportunity to hear different perspectives on Buddha’s teachings and enjoy coming together with others in the Pacific Northwest community of Kadampas. Everyone is welcome to stay for the two-hour Offering to the Spiritual Guide practice that starts at 3:30pm.

About the Teachers
Gen Kelsang Khedrub, a Western Buddhist monk, is the Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Center Washington in Seattle. He has been studying and practicing Kadampa Buddhism under Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s guidance for many years. His heartfelt teachings are presented with clarity and humor that make them accessible to everyone. Through his kindness, humility and deep understanding of Buddha’s teachings, Gen Khedrub provides an inspiring example of a contemporary Buddhist practitioner we can follow.

Gen Kelsang Wangpo is the Resident Teacher at Tushita Kadampa Buddhist Center in Olympia and Tacoma, and is a close disciple of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. He presents Buddha’s teachings with warmth and clarity and is appreciated for his loving kindness and his inspiring example of a modern Buddhist practitioner.

Cost
$35, includes a delicious vegetarian lunch ($20 for supporters of Kadampa Meditation Center WA and Tushita Kadampa Buddhist Center).
