TCIA'S FIRST ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING

The Tibetan Cultural Institute of Arkansas held its first organizational meeting on March 12, 2008, at the Pat and Willard Walker Meeting Room at the Fayetteville Public Library. Over thirty people attended. By the end of March, Geshe la and the officers will appoint a Board and convene its first meeting soon thereafter. Everyone who attended shared with us helpful ideas for our future growth, and we are looking forward to working with everyone as we begin to formalize our plans. James Owenby, our secretary, has provided minutes of the meeting, and they can be viewed on this site under "TCIA Minutes" and under the same heading at TIBETSPACE.

Who We Are, What We Do, and Where We Do It

We are a diverse group of individuals of all ages from all backgrounds who simply have an interest in what Geshe Dorjee and Rinzin Dorjee have to teach us. We meet every Sunday at Dramis Hardwood Floors (see directions below) at 11:00 a.m. for meditation, instruction, and discussion. Typically, we are finished betweeen 12:30 and 1:00 p.m. Some of us are Buddhists, some of us are not, and all are welcome. You may bring a cushion if you have one, but we provide cushions for those who do not.

What We're Reading

The Dalai Lama: The Meaning of Life
The book that we're currently reading (having begun January 2008), THE MEANING OF LIFE, by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, addresses the 12 links of dependent origination and other issues.
Ven Lobsang Gyatso: The Four Noble Truths
The first book we read together, and a detailed--at times, overly detailed--treatment of the founding platform of all Buddhist philosophy and practice.
The Dalai Lama: Stages of Meditation
The book we finished, January 2008. It's actually the second part of a three-part work by Kamalashila, an Indian monk and scholar from the 8th century. The Dalai Lama has supplied copious commentary to Kamalashila's translated text.
