7 March 2004 - Binny Clark spoke on the basic meditation
practice of Buddhism (shamatha vipassana). Binny is a practicioner
of 30 years and a student of Trungpa Rinpoche.
Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche was one of the most dynamic teachers
of Buddhism in the 20th Century. He was a pioneer in bringing
the Buddhist teachings of Tibet to the West and is credited
for introducing many important Buddhist concepts into the English
language and psyche in a fresh and unique way. No less an authority
than the Oxford English Dictionary cites his use of the word
ego in one of its definitions. He started the first Buddhist-inspired
University in North America: The Naropa University; founded
more than 100 meditation centres throughout the world; authored
two dozen popular books on meditation, Buddhism, poetry, art
and the Shambhala path of warriorship; brought many of the great
Tibetan lineage holders to North America for the first time;
and attracted several thousand students who have continued to
spread his teachings and his legacy into the new milllenium.

June 2004 - Dr. Andrew Tempelman returns after an
entusiastic invitation by all. Given the interest in Mel Gibson's
movie the Passion of Christ, Dr. Tempelman will review how the
story of Christ's life and death has evolved over the centuries
through the Gospels. He has continued his historical research
even since his last presentation to us and he will reveal fascinating
new insights to the traditional story.
Dr. Tempelman is a retired Presbyterian minister and has been
an innkeeper in Milford for 2 decades at The Ram in the Thicket.
He has also run for U.S. Senate, Hillsborough County Sheriff,
and other political offices. Andy is an enthusiastic supporter
of the general movement for political freedom for all and is
a friend of the Free State Project and has been a board member
of the Free Town Project Organization.
