SUMMARY:Buddha’s Return from Heaven Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate with us this special Holy Day called Buddha’s Return from Heaven Day. September 22 marks the celebration of Buddha’s return from heaven! On this day we celebrate Buddha’s return from the desire god realm called Land of the Thirty-three Heavens\, so-called because it has thirty-three different types of god. Traditionally this day also marks the day Buddha transported himself to the Land of the Thirty-three Heavens to visit his mother\, who had taken rebirth there after she died. Buddha deeply wanted to repay his mother’s kindness by teaching her Dharma. He stayed for three months teaching Dharma and then returned on this day.\nThis day is therefore very special. It is said that if we engage in any kind of virtuous action on this day it becomes especially powerful and our merit greatly increases. For example\, if we offer one single light offering this action is multiplied to become millions of light offerings. Kadampa centers around the world organise special activities including courses\, meditations and prayers on this day. Join us here in Austin as we engage in prayers and dedications to strengthen our connection with Buddha Shakyamuni and celebrate this holy day together. \nJoin us for Offering to the Spiritual Guide prayers at 6:30pm. Online chanted prayers link. Everyone welcome!

SUMMARY:The Journey to Peace: The stages of the path to enlightenment (Lamrim)
DESCRIPTION:The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment meditations (or Lamrim in Tibetan) are a condensation of all Buddha's teachings that is easy to understand and put into practice\, enabling us to gain deep meditative insights of every step of our journey to the supreme permanent peace of mind that is enlightenment. Through employing the very special practical presentation of these meditations by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in his book The Mirror of Dharma with Additions\, we will definitely accomplish the real meaning of our precious human life.

SUMMARY:Making Offerings - A day retreat
DESCRIPTION:Making offerings is a simple but powerful way to grow positive energy and inner happiness. In this day retreat\, you’ll learn what offerings really mean and how they help transform your mind. \nWe’ll also be guided through a special meditation practice called a mandala offering. In this context\, a “mandala” is a way of using your imagination to see the world as peaceful\, pure\, and full of meaning. Then\, in our mind\, we offer this transformed world as a gesture of generosity and appreciation to our Spiritual Guide. \nNo experience is needed—just a willingness to explore\, reflect\, and try something new. \nNoreen Flack\, Resident Teacher at KMC Austin will guide this online retreat. It is not necessary to have a mandala kit to join in. $25 for the day\, $10 per session. Everyone welcome!
