Please consider making a one time financial gift to support the Rime Center.

I have been an off and on member for a little over 15 years, often taking 5 years away before coming back, but I always return to my Buddhist home and find the same wonderful place, teaching meditation and Tibetan Buddhism, effectively. I am thankful. It is an important part of Kansas City. – Greta Moore

Dear Rime Member, Friends, and Supporters,

Another year is coming to a close and the Rime Buddhist Center Board is grateful for your continued support in helping us build a community that values the Buddha’s teachings of love, compassion, and wisdom. There is no doubt that this would not have been possible without your support. That is why we are asking you to keep the Rime Buddhist Center in mind when you are making your year-end tax-deductible contribution. Lama Matthew, Gabi, and the board want to continue the work of our founders in making the Rime Center not just a place for study and meditation, but also a home that nurtures and supports us on our path. Please take a moment and consider making a one-time donation by clicking on the PayPal button below or you can mail a check or money order to Rime Buddhist Center 700 W Pennway, Kansas City, MO 64108.




Thank you for your continued support of the Rime Buddhist Center. May you have peace, health and fulfillment throughout the coming year.

Sincerely,
Lama Matthew, Gabi and the Rime Buddhist Center Board

Posted on by

March 2nd, 2018

Chotrul Düchen occurs on the full moon (the fifteenth day) of the first Tibetan month, which is called Bumgyur Dawa. The first fifteen days of the year celebrate the fifteen days on which, in order to increase the merit and the devotion of future disciples, Buddha displayed a different miracle.

The Rime Center will be hosting a special puja to commemorate the Festival of Micracles and will be open during the day for you to come in and meditate at your own pace and time limit. The Special Puja will begin at 7:00 pm and will be lead by Geshe Lharampa Tsewang Thinley.

We are delighted to welcome back Tulku Yeshi Rinpoche March 19th – 11th and give the Chod empowerment and teachings. In Tibetan language the meaning of the word “chod” translates “to cut” and here, in Tibetan Buddhism, Chod means, “to cut the ego”. It is a practice that is based on the prajnaparamita. The benefit of Chod is that is frees you from the suffering caused by ego. It helps you generate love and compassion for all sentient beings. Chod also provides physical and mental healing.
