KKBC will be screening three Dharma movies: Wheel of Time, Doing Time, Doing Vipassana and Walking the Waking Journey on three separate Saturdays: 29/6, 21/9, 28/9 respectively, from 5.30 to 7 pm.
Please join us to watch these intriguing Dharma movies and engage in a short discussion afterwards on what you feel about the movie and what you have learnt.
29/6 (Sat) 5.30 to 7 pm
Movie: Wheel of Time
 Wheel of Time is a 2003 documentary film by German director Werner Herzog about Tibetan Buddhism. The title refers to the Kalachakra sand mandala that provides a recurring image for the film.
The film documents the two Kalachakra initiations of 2002, presided over by the fourteenth Dalai Lama. The first, in Bodhgaya India, was disrupted by the Dalai Lama's illness. Later that same year, the event was held again, this time without disruption, in Graz, Austria. The film's first location is the Bodhgaya, the site of the Mahabodhi Temple and the Bodhi tree. Herzog then turns to the pilgrimage at Mount Kailash, after which the film then focuses on the second gathering in Graz.
Herzog includes a personal interview with the Dalai Lama, as well as Tibetan former political prisoner Takna Jigme Zangpo, who served 37 years in a Chinese prison for his support of the International Tibet Independence Movement.

Weekly and Monthly Practices by Lama Palden |
|
|
|
|
 We are honored to have Lama Palden to give explanation and lead us in the weekly and monthly practices. At the end of each session, there will be Q&A for questions regarding your practice.
Lama Palden is from Jangchub Choeling Monastery in Nepal which is a monastery under Ven. Shangpa Rinpoche. He has completed 9 years of study in Vikramashila Buddhist Institute with commendable results and also completed a 3 years and 3 months full time retreat at Ngedon Palbar Ling Retreat Centre.
We welcome all devotees to come regularly for our weekly and monthly practices. The merits of group practice are that everyone has the same merits as all the merits accumulated by the entire group. One will also have support from fellow practitioners and guidance from the lama and not go astray in one's practice.
Please register with our administrator if you are interested to join in our weekly practices.
We will then be able to inform you should there be any changes or cancellations of practice due to unforeseen circumstances.
