Into the Land of Kalachakra
 |
Namgyal Monastery Institute of Buddhist Studies in Ithaca, New York, is the Dalai Lama’s official seat and personal monastery in North America. In order to serve the residents of Ithaca, the Tibetans who have been resettled in Ithaca, as well as Buddhist scholars and novices who travel from all over the world for instruction, Namgyal is constructing a new monastic facility, which the Dalai Lama has named Dü Khor Choe Ling, The Land of Kalachakra Study and Practice. Dü Khor Choe Ling will provide much needed new space for study, housing and retreats, but more than that, it will provide a sanctuary for the future of Tibetan Buddhism. Our film and DVD project, INTO THE LAND OF KALACHAKRA, will follow one journey of the Dalai Lama to Ithaca, New York, in the fall of 2007, and will explore how the actions and words of this “simple monk” have come to mean so much to people all over the world.

Civil Warriors
They stood up to fight for a nation that didn't want them.
They stood up to fight for freedoms they barely had.
They stood up to be counted as men in a country that called them "boy." They fought and died, and their stories go largely untold.
Zachariah Tyler was a black man, a whitewasher by trade, who served as a minister at the St. James AME Zion Church in the upstate village of Ithaca, New York. The Civil War was raging, and the men in Reverend Tyler’s congregation were eager to join the fight, but New York refused to allow black men to enlist.
This is their story. It is a story of war on two fronts – the armed conflict between North and South, and the battle for recognition and rights for black Americans. It is a story of courage and hardship, victory and grief.
