April 23, 2007
Let’s Go to
the Movies!
On Sunday,
May 6th, the Shambhala
Meditation Center of San Antonio will host the
monthly Dharma Discussion Group from
12:30
pm to 3:00 pm. This month’s discussion
will focus on the film, Vajra Sky Over Tibet. We will
watch the film while sharing lunch, and then we will
discuss our observations and insights. Lunch will be
provided at 12:30 pm, immediately following the
general meditation practice.
Vajra Sky Over Tibet, a documentary feature by John Bush (2006), is a cinematic pilgrimage to some of the most revered venues and festivals still surviving in Tibet. The vastness of the Tibetan sky, reflecting snowy mountains, rushing rivers, and turquoise lakes, leads the journey west. Tibetans respond to the denial of the human right to practice one’s religion without interference with a defiant devotion. This film is the third in the Yatra Trilogy on Buddhism by John Bush.
Dharma Discussion Group participants include those who are committed to practicing the dharma, and interested in sharing their experiences with one another. The primary purpose of the Dharma Discussion Group is to discuss Buddhism as a living and conscious way to liberate spirit, and promote discipline in the study the Buddha’s teachings. All sangha members, as well as interested community members, are invited to join the Dharma Discussion Group at the monthly gatherings.
If you have any questions or concerns about the Dharma Discussion Group, you can contact Todd Russell at trussell@satx.rr.com or (210) 348-7791. Please plan to join the San Antonio Shambhala Dharma Discussion Group for a viewing of the film, Vajra Sky Over Tibet, followed by a lively discussion on Sunday, May 6, 2007, from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm.
