In our busy modern lives, we may not give much thought to death. We fear that thinking about death will take the joy out of living. But in reality, when we actively think about death and prepare for it, we find peace, fulfillment, and happiness in our current lives and our fear of death disappears. The death is accepted as a part of the ongoing cycle of life.

For those interested in learning more about death & dying from the Tibetan Buddhist perspective, Choe Khor Sum Ling is introducing a new course – ‘The Heart Advice for Death & Dying’.
The course will be comprised of 4-5 monthly sessions and will be conducted by Venerable Gyalten Rabten, a Buddhist monk from Sera Jey Monastic University.

The topics covered will include:
• Death according to Buddhism
• Developing healthy realistic attitudes about death
• Introduction to the 9-point meditation on death
• Dealing with disturbing emotions regarding death
• Preparing for death
• Tong-len practice
• 8 stages of the death process
• Helping others who are dying
The sessions will be followed by discussions and guided meditation on the topics covered. The course is suitable for beginners as well as advanced students in Buddhism.

When: the first session is to be held on December 5, 2010, from 10 AM till 1 PM.

Taste of Truth: Special Teaching on Emptiness & Interdependent Arising by Geshe Dorji Damdul on Sept 8-10, at CKSL

TAGS: None

Choe Khor Sum Ling, a Tibetan Buddhist Meditation & Study Centre, is organizing a very special event: on September 8-10, 2010, Geshe Dorji Damdul will give a teaching on the most profound concept of the Buddhist philosophy – Emptiness & Interdependent Arising.
Over three evenings Geshe Dorji Damdul will give teachings on interdependent-arising and emptiness, the true nature of reality. Geshe la will explain how by seeing the ultimate reality of all existence one can attain freedom from the sufferings of samsara.
These teachings will be based on the 24th chapter of The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way (Mulamadhyamakakarika) composed by Arya Nagarjuna, one of the foremost scholars of ancient Nalanda University. In this text Nagarjuna playfully shows the absurdities that we fall into if we interpret emptiness as meaning nothingness, or reject emptiness in favor of permanence.
Geshe Dorji Damdul is one of the official translators of His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama. He is a popular and respected teacher, particularly for his teachings on emptiness, a distinguished Buddhist scholar, whose interest lies in the relation between Buddhism and science, especially in physics. Geshe la has participated in several of the renowned conferences entailing dialogues between His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama and western scientists organized by Mind and Life Institute.
Currently Geshe la serves as a Deputy Director of Tibet House, New Delhi, where he gives lectures and leads philosophy classes and meditation retreats. Geshe la travels widely in India and abroad to teach Buddhist philosophy and practice.

Unique Identification Number Project (UID)and the Indian Citizen

TAGS: None

The UID (Unique Identity) project is one of the most ambitious projects of the UPA government. The move to set up the UID Authority of India (UIDAI), under the aegis of the Planning Commission, is aimed at providing a unique identity to the targeted population of the flagship schemes to ensure that the benefits reach them. The unique identification number would ensure that any lacuna in these schemes is removed so that the benefits do not reach those they are not meant for.

Karnataka has reportedly been chosen as the pilot state to implement the project. The National Authority for Unique Identity (NAUI), set up under the Planning Commission, has asked the state to implement the programme on a small scale to co-ordinate data on people, from different agencies.

Bangalore is set to become a hub of activities for the Unique Identification Authority of India as Karnataka has been chosen as one of the states where the project, led by Infosys co-founder Mr. Nandan Nilekani, will be implemented first.

We Invite you to a half day workshop on “Unique Identification Number Project (UID)and the Indian Citizen” on Sunday the 20th June, 2010 at Ecumenical Christian Centre, Whitefield, Bangalore, from 2:30 to 5:00pm.

CIS in association with different institutions across India invites you to join in the Free Culture Roadshow: A presentation on The Right to Share and The Promise of Open Video.

A Brief Abstract of the two discussions and the profile of the speakers are given below:
The Right to Share: What Does Copying Have to Do with Freedom?

The Internet has unleashed the potential to communicate and collaborate like never before, and the result has been an unprecedented flow of culture and information. Millions of individuals are now sharing and creating culture: copying, cutting, remixing, and participating in new and different ways.
Sometimes this activity is transformative. Sometimes it’s straight copying. In either case, there is a clear connection between this sharing of culture and personal freedom.
This talk will explore how various conceptions of “freedom” have shaped the social movements for free software, free culture, and free knowledge, and how this ideology has manifested itself in real action. It will connect theory with practice, exploring the cultural innovations and political changes that have spawned forth from these movements. Lastly, it will make the case that the broad-based availability, accessibility, and abundance of culture is a good thing for our global society.
Speaker Profile:

Elizabeth Stark is a leader in the global free culture movement. She is a Fellow at the Yale Information Society Project and a Lecturer in Computer Science at Yale University. A graduate of Harvard Law School, Stark founded the Harvard Free Culture Group and served on the board of directors of Students for Free Culture.

The Revolution Will Be Recorded, Remixed, and Redistributed: The Promise of Open Video

Between news, cinema, television, and documentary film, we find ourselves swimming in a sea of moving images. This has been the story of the 20th century. Yet in this age, the tools for creating and sharing video are becoming widely distributed in the hands of millions of individuals. Desktop video editing software is pervasive; webcams and video-equipped mobile phones abound. Video now belongs to everyone. It is becoming a powerful medium for self-expression, a kind of cultural currency.
How will this phenomenon change the Internet? How will it change society? What questions persist for the architecture of the Internet, and how will public policy address this ultimately political transformation? This talk sets forth a vision of networked video as a truly participatory medium, one that will power the next 10 years of innovation on the web. Dean Jansen and Ben Moskowitz introduce some core technologies for open video, and the obstacles they face on the road to mass adoption.
Speaker Profiles:

Dean Jansen is a Free Culture activist and guerrilla artist based in New York. He attended Harvard University and was a leader in the Harvard Free Culture Group. Dean assisted in teaching media studies and law courses at MIT and Harvard, and has organized numerous academic conferences.
