Kagyu Changchub Chuling

White Tara Morning Practice
2027-02-01 07:00 - 08:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | OR
White Tara is a beloved practice in Vajrayana Buddhism known for enhancing longevity, removing obstacles, aiding in the development of compassion, and for being a pathway to wisdom.
White Tara is a yidam—an embodiment of awakened mind, an expression of nondual wisdom—that we embody to lead us to that nondual awakened mind that is our nature.
The practice is recited in English the first Monday of each month and led alternately by Lama Eric and Ani Tsultrim.
To attend the White Tara practice, you must have
received the White Tara empowerment in any tradition.

Children's Program
2027-01-10 09:00 - 11:00 | KCC Portland Center, 4936 NE Skidmore Street, Portland, OR, 97218, United States
The KCC Children’s Program is an opportunity to introduce children to Buddhist values within a supportive, sincere dharma community using simple dharma activities, storytelling, open discussion, songs, art projects and activities, including play, to promote kindness and compassion. Our goal is to provide a fun, meaningful experience for all.
Sunday Morning Children’s Program
On the second and fourth Sundays of each month, from 9:00 to 11:00 am, we offer the Sunday Morning Children’s Program. This program normally starts in September and runs through the second Sunday in June. In July and August we meet once a month on the fourth Sunday. We require that at least one parent or guardian be present at KCC when their child attends.
The age range we currently serve is 5 to 12; however, we do allow slightly younger and older children on a case by case basis as appropriate. Please feel free to discuss this with the program coordinator if needed.
While there is no fee for the program, dana (offerings) are accepted and go towards helping us continue providing programs such as these. In order to support the program on Sundays we ask that parents agree to be available to assist the teacher if needed – this is a shared role and can be filled by parents or other adults who wish to participate in this way. During the regular school year please note that we request you consider committing to bringing your child both Sundays each month throughout this time frame, but this is not required.
Also please be aware that, to attend this program, your child needs to be able to manage their speech and physical activity cooperatively in a small group to help maintain a peaceful children’s sangha. If this is a concern we ask that you attend with your child until they are comfortable with the group. Ultimately we want to be as inclusive as possible, but must also work to create a safe and welcoming environment for all attending.
Childcare for Children Under Five
We also offer childcare for children 3 to 4 years old on the Sunday mornings when the program is offered.

Shamatha Meditation - Half Day + Potluck
2027-01-03 09:00 - 12:30 | OR
The Zoom button will appear below 15 minutes prior to the session (i.e., 8:45am on alternating first Sundays, see below). If the button is not appearing, first try refreshing your webpage. If it is still not appearing, please email zoom@kcc.org for assistance.
At KCC, the foundation of spiritual training is Shamatha, a basic sitting meditation that develops stable attention and provides the basis for investigating more subtle aspects of awareness. The practice is the essential underpinning of all other meditation practices. While our minds are busy and distracted by a myriad of disconnected thoughts, feelings, and emotions, it is not possible to deeply engage the meditation methods that could lead us to the intended result of directly recognizing the nature of mind. Shamatha is a direct method for learning to let the mind rest naturally, free of our commitment to the tyranny of these distractions.
Lama Eric Triebelhorn provides detailed instructions about the practice of Shamatha on alternating first Sundays from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, followed by a potluck lunch. These Half-Day Sits happen in odd-numbered months: January, March, May, July, September, and November.
All are welcome to attend.

Children's Program
2026-12-13 09:00 - 11:00 | KCC Portland Center, 4936 NE Skidmore Street, Portland, OR, 97218, United States
The KCC Children’s Program is an opportunity to introduce children to Buddhist values within a supportive, sincere dharma community using simple dharma activities, storytelling, open discussion, songs, art projects and activities, including play, to promote kindness and compassion. Our goal is to provide a fun, meaningful experience for all.
Sunday Morning Children’s Program
On the second and fourth Sundays of each month, from 9:00 to 11:00 am, we offer the Sunday Morning Children’s Program. This program normally starts in September and runs through the second Sunday in June. In July and August we meet once a month on the fourth Sunday. We require that at least one parent or guardian be present at KCC when their child attends.
The age range we currently serve is 5 to 12; however, we do allow slightly younger and older children on a case by case basis as appropriate. Please feel free to discuss this with the program coordinator if needed.
While there is no fee for the program, dana (offerings) are accepted and go towards helping us continue providing programs such as these. In order to support the program on Sundays we ask that parents agree to be available to assist the teacher if needed – this is a shared role and can be filled by parents or other adults who wish to participate in this way. During the regular school year please note that we request you consider committing to bringing your child both Sundays each month throughout this time frame, but this is not required.
Also please be aware that, to attend this program, your child needs to be able to manage their speech and physical activity cooperatively in a small group to help maintain a peaceful children’s sangha. If this is a concern we ask that you attend with your child until they are comfortable with the group. Ultimately we want to be as inclusive as possible, but must also work to create a safe and welcoming environment for all attending.
Childcare for Children Under Five
We also offer childcare for children 3 to 4 years old on the Sunday mornings when the program is offered.
