Here we are in 2009! Please join us for our first meditation meeting of winter quarter this Tuesday, January 6th from 5:30 to 7 pm. We meet at the University Catholic Center (UCC), which is located at 633 Gayley Avenue (across the street from the UCLA campus, between Strathmore and Le Conte, near the fraternity houses). Our meetings are led by Reverend Kusala, who leads us in a dharma discussion followed by a chance to ask questions and a meditation. Previous dharma discussions are available in podcast form at Rev. Kusala's website: www.dharmatalks.info.
As a non-denominational Buddhist group, our meetings are great for followers of all forms of Buddhism as well as those new to the practice who are looking to learn more. Throughout the quarter we will also continue to offer various events such as talks, field trips, socials, community service days, and retreats. Keep checking our website (www.theUBA.org) for more info on these and other events.
We will be offering a variety of events outside of our regular meetings as well, so stay tuned for that. We are also looking for some new staff members - if you'd like to get involved, let us know! We are looking for all kinds of skills, whether or not you have prior leadership experience.
To wrap things up, if you're a returning member, we look forward to seeing you again, and if you're new, welcome! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask, and if you have suggestions for events, feel free to share them with us.
A happy and peaceful new year to everyone!

Interesting stuff. Makes me want to go to India :-)
If you're into Buddhist/Asian art and culture, check out this web-book on the cultural exchange between Buddhism & Taoism: http://buddhist-taoist-art.particlebook.com/
If you study this stuff, you already know most of it, but the borrowing of artistic metaphors is pretty interesting (Mudras, Third Eye, Lotus, etc). If you like it, please add me to your Buddhist resources or your blogroll and I'll reciprocate.
Great, thanks for the link. I'll be adding the web-book to our Buddhist resources for sure.
