A request for technological assistance!

Just a quick reminder about our regular meditation meeting this Tuesday from 5:30 - 7pm at the UCC (633 Gayley). Our meetings are facilitated by Rev. Kusala, who leads the group in a dharma discussion followed by a chance to ask questions and meditate.
Also, to any of you who might be technologically/web-design-minded, Don Farber, a local photographer specializing in photographs of Buddhist life, is looking for a student volunteer interesting in helping him rework his website and help him to learn the program Dreamweaver at the same time. Let us know as soon as you can if you are interested and we can get you in contact with him. Mr. Farber's website can be viewed at http://www.buddhistphotos.com - even if you're not able to help him out, do visit the website if you get a chance as the photographs are beautiful!
Thanks, and we hope to see you on Tuesday evening!

Week 5 Updates
Monday, April 28, 2008
|
We hope you're staying cool in this hot weather! May we remind you that the UCC is always kept at a very cool temperature? In case you are in need of some free air conditioning AND would like to come learn more about Buddhism, come see us at our regular Tuesday night meeting, 5:30-7pm, at the UCC at 633 Gayley. Our meetings feature a dharma discussion facilitated by Rev. Kusala and are followed by a chance to ask questions and then to meditate.
Also, a big thank you to everyone who came to our social event last weekend - it was a great success! We might plan for another one by the end of the quarter, so keep an eye out for that. As for this weekend, Jason Kung, one of our regular members, has sent us information about an event at a Long Beach monastery that is planning a children's celebration on Sunday. As a result, they would love to have volunteers to help set things up for the event on Saturday as well as Sunday. More information is available here. Most of the UBA staff will likely not be able to attend, but Jason has offered to drive a carload on Sunday if anyone is interested - shoot us an email at ucla.uba.online@gmail.com if you are!
Thanks everybody, hope to see you tomorrow evening!

Week 4 - Social Event!
Monday, April 21, 2008

Hi everyone,
We hope you had a great weekend and we hope that midterm season is not stressing you all out too much! We at the UBA offer two chances this week to take the time to enjoy the present moment with our weekly meditation meeting and our first social event of the quarter, a potluck dinner and movie night.
First, our weekly meditation meeting is, as usual, on Tuesday night from 5:30-7 pm, in the UCC (633 Gayley). Reverend Kusala will facilitate a dharma discussion and we will have the chance to ask questions and finish off with a meditation. We hope to see you all there!
Then, Friday evening (April 25th) we are planning our potluck and movie night social event. We will start with a potluck dinner at 6:30. We will be providing main dishes, so anything you would like to contribute - drinks, side dishes, desserts - would be greatly appreciated by all. It's all up to you and your proximity to a kitchen. After a delicious meal we will be watching the movie Seven Years in Tibet.
If you would like to RSVP so we can get a head count for food for the potluck, please email us at ucla.uba.online@gmail.com as soon as you can. Thanks!
