Appreciation
Founded in 1995, Kathok Centre is entering into its 20th year of operation. It's been
another year of construction, renovations and reaching out. Renovations to the log
house that is Lingtrul Rinpoche's residence are close to complete. We are happy
that Rinpoche can now come and feel at home.
Work on the Golden Shrine is continuing with volunteers working to build the
thrones on which to place the two new statues.
Re-financing of the Centre's mortgage has been approved so that the monthly cost
can be lower and easier to meet, though this will mean it will take possibly 20 years
to pay off. This did however give the leverage to purchase the Community Kitchen
building to make our members and visitors more comfortable and want to stay
longer!
Its been a busy and exciting year and the six of us feel lucky and inspired to donate
our time, energy and resources to help our Teachers fulfill their vision of sharing
peace and the spark of enlightenment with all sentient beings. Teresa Gagnon,
Melissa White, Dave McBride, Trevor Jones, Margret Holland, Penny McGuire

Spiritual
Practices
and
Special
Events
Again
this
year,
some
of
our
practitioners,
who
have
been
trained
by
Lingtrul
Rinpoche
and
Tulku
Karzang,
volunteered
to
facilitate
regular
practices
in
the
Main
Temple
and
Golden
Shrine
according
to
the
tradition
of
this
lineage
and
following
the
lunar
calendar.
These
included
introductory
open
meditation
classes,
Ngondro,
Green
Tara,
Guru
Rinpoche

day
and
1
day
Silent
retreats
where
offered
every
6
-
8
weeks
with
15
40
people
in
attendance.
We
are
noticing
people
coming
more
often
and
new
people
joining
in
all
the
time.
More
and
more
people
are
recognizing
the
need
in
their
own
lives
to
be
more
accountable
for
their
own
energy
and
want
to
begin
to
train
their
minds.
Some
start
with
the
Open
Meditation
classes
and
some
jump
right
into
the
traditional
Tibetan
meditation
practices.
The
number
of
active
annual
KC
Members
has
tripled
since
2012!
Upcoming
Special
Events
include
a
2-3
day
Vajrasattva
Retreat
to
be
led
by
the
Very
Venerable
Lingtrul
Rinpoche,
with
some
assistance
from
volunteers
from
Tashi
Choling.
Projected
date
is
July.

Fundraising Events
The
2014
Dinner
and
Dance
at
Errington
Hall
was
fun
for
everyone
but
a
lot
of
work
for
volunteers
so
for
2015
we
replaced
this
with
two
smaller
events.
This
will
maximize
our
ability
for
community
outreach
as
we
reach
out
to
new
audiences,
but
will
also
prevent
burnout
of
our
volunteer
base
and
continue
to
raise
money
and
awareness
for
the
Centre.
The
first
event
was
a
Wine
and
Cheese
Silent
Auction
at
Thalassa
Restaurant,
Qualicum
Golf
Course.
It
was
a
great
success
raising
$3,000.
We
are
considering
ways
and
locations
to
make
this
even
better
for
next
year.
