About Eugene weekly. (Eugene, Oregon) 1993-current | View Entire Issue (Jan. 30, 2014)
CALENDAR Wednesday Feb. 5 kicks off the beginning of a new workshop series, Six Talks on Meditation, Buddhist Practice & Philos- ophy. Learn from Tulku Jigme Rinpoche of the Eugene Sakya Center, whose family helped bring His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Eugene last year. Having grown up in both Eastern and Western cultures, he is uniquely positioned to explain Eastern concepts to Western minds. The fi rst part of the series starts Feb. 5, but the talks can work as standalone lessons, so don’t worry if you can’t make it every week. Six Talks on Meditation, Buddhist Practice & Philosophy start 6:30pm Wednesday, Feb. 5, at Tsunami Books, 2585 Willa- mette St. FREE, donations accepted. — Amy Schneider TODD COOPER Analog Sunday Record Listening Party w/House of Records, 7pm, The Barn Light, 924 Willamette St. Game Show w/Host Elliot Martinez, 8pm, Blairally Vintage Arcade, 245 Blair Blvd. FREE.
