A Trip to the Kadampa Center!
I went to lunch with Mom and Dad today. We met at the Buddhist meditation center / temple that Dad is remodeling. It's very nice inside, and I got to see the large statues up close (but through plastic) and meet Kelsang Jampa, the resident teacher.

Kelsang Jampa, a Western Buddhist Monk, is the resident teacher of Kadampa Meditation Center - Texas (KMC-TX).
He has been a close disciple of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso for eight years. He trained on the Kadampa study program at Vajralama Buddhist Center in Seattle and has received the lineage blessings and oral transmissions directly from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Kelsang Jampa's warmth, kindness, and deep understanding of Buddhist teachings provide an inspiring example of Buddhism in practice.

Emerald City High-energy Halloween fun
Voted Dallas’s Best Band by The Dallas Morning News, Emerald City’s ability to entertain is rivaled only by their ability to get audiences on their feet. The collective energy of this 10-piece, three-horn group has flown all over the country from New York to Los Angeles to OpryLand and has performed with such talents as Roberta Flack, Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson and Michael McDonald.

Buddha is On the Move!
Dad's construction company is remodeling a Buddhist (Kadampa) Meditation Center in Arlington. This is from their recent newsletter. They're very interesting people, check them out:
Things are on the move at KMC TX
Beginning with big Buddha
Wow, is this how are we going to do this?
Better leave this to the professionals
Our kind contractor, Les
We can just file the paperwork
and make out the check
These guys know what they are doing
Wheels will be attached
and a ramp made
the joyful path
will require some effort
all hands on deck
Take it slowly
and gently
Down in no time
see that was easy
now we need to put him in place
wow, it’s still heavy
His temporary home
While he is getting a make-over
with the help
of all the dakinis
He will need some protection
From the construction dust
Now the stage will have to go
removing layer
by layer
and piece
by piece
by piece
Now we can knock down some walls
This should take no time at all
Voila, now the office is much bigger
Tune in next month to see what mess we create next.

New Center Street Development
Center Street Station and the Arlington Music Hall
Center Street Station is a $30 million mixed-use project in downtown Arlington. Burk Collins, a Hurst developer, is bringing in Babe's Chicken Dinner House next to the Arlington Music Hall, which will continue to be the home of the Johnnie High Country Music Revue on Saturday nights. The stage of this historic theater will be expanded to accommodate larger acts. Symphony Arlington will relocate their performances to the Arlington Music Hall and other national, regional performing act will fill the stage seven nights a week. This catalyst development when completed, will feature a mix of entertainment, retail, boutique-type specialty stores, other restaurants, and office space. Center Street Station will become a signature destination for Downtown Arlington.
