His Holiness the Dalai Lama at the Rogers Centre on October 22
In case you are interested:
Dear Friends,
I would like to inform you about a very special opportunity to see and hear His Holiness the Dalai Lama at the Rogers Centre this October.
His Holiness will be giving a Public Talk entitled "Human Approaches to World Peace" at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on Friday, Oct. 22, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. (Gates open at 12:30 p.m.)
Toronto will be the only Canadian leg of his North American tour this year so we are very honoured to have the world-renown Nobel Peace Prize laureate and honorary Canadian citizen in Toronto to speak about the following.
In today’s modern world, science and technology play vital roles in bringing unprecedented material comfort to the lives of human beings. However, the basic human problems of suffering, fear and tension still remain and form part of our daily lives.
In this timely address, His Holiness the Dalai Lama will talk in particular about striking a balance between material progress and humanitarian values and will share his outlook on how each of us as individuals may bring about peace not only on a personal level but also at the community and world-wide level.
Please pass on this news to your friends, family and colleagues and we hope to welcome as many U of T Buddhist Studies students possible at the Rogers Centre.
I wish you all a successful school year!

Scotiabank Nuit Blanche October 2 2010
In case you are interested:
Toronto's annual sunset to sunrise celebration of contemporary art returns on October 2, 2010 to mark a five-year milestone.
Discover art in galleries, museums and unexpected places. From building façades and city parks to alleyways and heritage buildings, choose from more than 130 destinations and chart your own path. This year's event will also present a series of special events celebrating the fifth anniversary and extending Scotiabank Nuit Blanche beyond one night.
Full details are available at www.scotiabanknuitblanche.ca.
Follow @sbnuitblancheTO on Twitter, or visit www.facebook.com/sbnuitblancheTO for behind the scenes information and updates as the event draws near.
Scotiabank Nuit Blanche is a signature event produced by the City of Toronto in collaboration with Toronto's arts community.
....................................................
City-produced exhibition highlights
The City-produced exhibition projects will be positioned directly on the Yonge-University TTC subway line. Yonge Street will be entirely closed to car traffic between Bloor Street and Front Street, giving pedestrians safe and easy access to the exhibitions.
Curator Gerald McMasters exhibition entitled "The Good Night" features 10 projects in and around Yorkville, from Yonge Street to St. George. Highlights include the Lower Bay Station, which will become an interactive landscape of light in Daan Roosegaarde's installation "Interactive Landscape Dune", while the Village of Yorkville Park will feature a billion-year-old chunk of the Canadian Shield transformed into the pulsing heart of Mother Earth by Kent Monkman's alter-ego Miss Chief Eagle Testikle in "Iskootāo".
Anthony Kiendl will curate seven projects along the west side of Yonge Street from Dundas Street to Queen Street West in Sound and Vision. Nathan Phillips Square will be transformed into a sensory oasis as Daniel Lanois prepares, produces and performs the soundtrack to a multi-channel, multi-screen media experience in "Later That Night at the Drive-In". Atop the new Podium Green Roof at City Hall, Dan Graham's "Performance Café with Perforated Sides" will feature one of the artist's world-renowned reflective pavilions, beckoning as a space for human interaction on a grand or intimate scale.
Sarah Robayo Sheridan's exhibition entitled "The Night of Future Past" will be located on the east side of Yonge from Carlton Street south to Queen Street. She will curate eight projects, including Ryan Ganders "Just Because You Can Feel It, Doesnt Mean It's There", which will set Yonge-Dundas Square ablaze in a social sculpture of ambiguous designation but of unmistakable scale and presence. In "Reunion" on the Ryerson Theatre Stage, the historic artistic convergence of the same name that occurred in 1968 will be celebrated and remounted by local and international performers influenced by the twin legacies of Marcel Duchamp and John Cage.
Christof Migone will curate 15 projects in the Financial District, straddling Yonge Street from Queen Street to Front Street. "Should I Stay or Should I Go" will feature Max Streicher's "Endgame (Coulrophobia)", which will either delight or frighten audiences who discover the giant inflatable clown heads wedged between two buildings in a back alley.
At Commerce Court, Davide Balula's performance entitled "The Endless Pace" will feature 60 dancers mimicking the passage of time in a clock formed from human movement. Kim Adams' "Auto Lamp" will become a beacon of light for night owls; a sculptural lighthouse on land at the corner of Yonge and Queen. At Brookfield Place, Martin Arnold and Micah Lexier have collaborated to present "Erik Saties Vexations" - two pianos playing a score simultaneously 840 times over 12 hours - the first time this difficult score has been played in such a way and in such short a time.
....................................................
Community-produced independent project highlights
The community-produced portion of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche will feature new or existing installations created by cultural and educational institutions, neighbourhoods and individual artists that extend the boundaries of the event city-wide and showcase the diversity of Toronto's arts community. Casa Loma, CN Tower, the Bata Shoe Museum, Ryerson University, TIFF and many more organizations are hosting important projects in their unique venues. Entire neighbourhoods like Parkdale, Liberty Village, Queen West, the Distillery District and the area in and around Trinity Bellwoods Park will feature multiple installations by local artists.

Ganden Jangtse Tibetan Buddhist Monastery Tour Toronto Update
The talks at U of T with Geshe Lobsang Choedrak originally scheduled for this Wed. July 29th between 12 and 2pm have been cancelled.
Deep thanks to all of you who responded to the call for a translator for today's talks at St. Michael's Hospital...both talks by Geshe Lobsang Choedrak were well attended by a broad spectrum of health care workers, as well as some from outside the hospital. The translation was kindly provided by Kelsang Dorje. Thank you Dave Gould for helping us find Keldor, and to Keldor for translating on such short notice!
The Chenrezig Sand Mandala construction began auspiciously today July 27.
We all went for a wonderful walk to City Hall after the main-meal, much to the delight of many people downtown. One fellow on roller-blades spontaneously broke into song about the monks!
While we chatted, Geshe-laks informed me that, because of how much they were able to accomplish today, tomorrow the mandala will be completed by 2:30pm, and that Wednesday's dismantling ceremony will only take 30 minutes. Here is the updated schedule.

About the monks' tour and Mandalas:
"The Ganden Jangtse monastic college is a sub-school of Ganden Tibetan Buddhist Monastery located originally in Tibet and now operational in exile in Mundgod, Karnataka, South India. Ganden Monastery was founded in 1409 by Lama Tsong Khapa (a hugely influential Tibetan scholar-monk who founded the Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, author of the great Lam-Rim Chenmo text and Root Guru of His Holiness the Dalai Lama). Tibetan Buddhist Monasteries in exile often send their best and brightest monks abroad to both raise awareness about Tibet, with its rich cultural and religious traditions, and Buddhism...they are available to teach about Buddhism only if requested, as the non-proselytising approach of Buddhism is to ensure not being an interference to other and already existing local religious traditions which are held in highest esteem and considered both valid and immensely beneficial. The current tour consists of 5 monks, including a Geshe, which is a fully-qualified scholar in all of the major and minor subjects in Buddhist philosophy who has trained rigorously through debate, study and meditation for 20-25 years. The mandala construction consists of a selection of the monks consecrating the space through prayer (they are deep-throat chant masters, all) and then quiet placement of coloured sand particles in a geometric and symbolic pattern that, when complete, is both a map of the cosmos and a 2-dimensional representation of a 3-dimensional celestial palace that houses various enlightened beings. The mandala construction is a meditation for the monks, and the intention in building such a religious work is to bless the area and the beings therein with the highest happiness and the elimination of suffering. Mandala construction is often said by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to be beneficial towards bringing us closer to world peace, which is reasonable since the intention of the practitioners involved (and the lineage of their teachers which traces back to Shakyamuni Buddha Himself) is a loving and compassionate one, and the mandala itself is a design of a utopic environment full of bliss and based on the wisdom of ultimate reality. Upon its completion, the mandala is deconstructed with brushes, which dramatically shows the impermanence of all things, and the sand is collected into an urn so that it can be transported to a body of water into which it is deposited (thus blessing the living beings there as well) along with more prayers for the benefit of all beings. In keeping with being a non-sectarian/non-exclusive/universalist tradition, there are no restrictions to attendance and all events with the monks are open to everyone who is interested. May all be well and happy! Sarva mangalam."

"The Ganden Jangtse monastic college is a sub-school of Ganden Tibetan Buddhist Monastery located originally in Tibet and now operational in exile in Mundgod, Karnataka, South India. Ganden Monastery was founded in 1409 by Lama Tsong Khapa (a hugely influential Tibetan scholar-monk who founded the Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, author of the great Lam-Rim Chenmo text and Root Guru of His Holiness the Dalai Lama). Tibetan Buddhist Monasteries in exile often send their best and brightest monks abroad to both raise awareness about Tibet, with its rich cultural and religious traditions, and Buddhism...they are available to teach about Buddhism only if requested, as the non-proselytising approach of Buddhism is to ensure not being an interference to other and already existing local religious traditions which are held in highest esteem and considered both valid and immensely beneficial. The current tour consists of 5 monks, including a Geshe, which is a fully-qualified scholar in all of the major and minor subjects in Buddhist philosophy who has trained rigorously through debate, study and meditation for 20-25 years. The mandala construction consists of a selection of the monks consecrating the space through prayer (they are deep-throat chant masters, all) and then quiet placement of coloured sand particles in a geometric and symbolic pattern that, when complete, is both a map of the cosmos and a 2-dimensional representation of a 3-dimensional celestial palace that houses various enlightened beings.

Hoax: Buddhism won "The Best Religion In The World Award"
Sorry, I have just been told by Riglin that this email was an hoax...
Sharing the following email with you:
Very interesting to read this .....
Buddhism won “The Best Religion In The World” award
15 Jul 2009, Tribune de Geneve
The Geneva-based International Coalition for the Advancement of Religious and Spirituality (ICARUS) has bestowed "The Best Religion In the World" award this year on the Buddhist Community.
This special award was voted on by an international round table of more than 200 religious leaders from every part of the spiritual spectrum. It was fascinating to note that many religious leaders voted for Buddhism rather than their own religion although Buddhists actually make up a tiny minority of ICARUS membership. Here are the comments by four voting members:
Jonna Hult, Director of Research for ICARUS said "It wasn't a surprise to me that Buddhism won Best Religion in the World, because we could find literally not one single instance of a war fought in the name of Buddhism, in contrast to every other religion that seems to keep a gunin the closet just in case God makes a mistake. We were hard pressed to even find a Buddhist that had ever been in an army. These people practice what they preach to an extent we simply could not document with any other spiritual tradition."
A Catholic Priest, Father Ted O'Shaughnessy said from Belfast , "As much as I love the Catholic Church, it has always bothered me to no end that we preach love in our scripture yet then claim to know God's will when it comes to killing other humans. For that reason, I did have to cast my vote for the Buddhists."
A Muslim Cleric Tal Bin Wassad agreed from Pakistan via his translator. "While I am a devout Muslim, I can see how much anger and bloodshed is channeled into religious expression rather than dealt with on a personal level. The Buddhists have that figured out."
Bin Wassad, the ICARUS voting member for Pakistan 's Muslim community continued, "In fact, some of my best friends are Buddhist."
And Rabbi Shmuel Wasserstein said from Jerusalem, "Of course, I love Judaism, and I think it's the greatest religion in the world. But to be honest, I've been practicing Vipassana meditation every day before minyan (daily Jewish
prayer) since 1993. So I get it."
However, there was one snag - ICARUS couldn't find anyone to give the award to. All the Buddhists they called kept saying they didn't want the award.
When asked why the Burmese Buddhist community refused the award, Buddhist monk Bhante Ghurata Hanta said from Burma, "We are grateful for the acknowledgment, but we give this award to all humanity, for Buddha nature lies within each of us." Groehlichen went on to say "We're going to keep calling around until we find a Buddhist who will accept it. We'll let you know when we do."
