Shambhala Online Weekly Dharma Gathering
“After You're Gone”
with Maho Kawachi
Hosted by Ashley Dinges
All are welcome to join these weekly events, which include guided meditation and a talk and discussion with a featured guest teacher.
On March 13, we are grateful to have Maho Kawachi present a talk titled “After You're Gone”.
This tradition began at Shambhala New York in the early 1990s as a way to welcome the greater community into the Shambhala center. Today, many Shambhala centers around the world continue to host these events for members and friends of the Shambhala community. We hope that these events will allow us to collectively examine the issues facing our sangha and larger society by spotlighting new and fresh voices across our mandala.
The Shambhala Online Weekly Dharma Gathering series is hosted and curated by Dr. Shanté Paradigm Smalls. Dr. Smalls is a teacher in the Shambhala lineage and student of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. They are assistant professor of Black Culture and Literature, as well as as a performer and performance studies scholar. Dr. Smalls has published work on hip hop, film, queer performance, and a host of other scholarly topics. Connect with Shanté on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

About the Teacher

Maho Kawachi was born in Shibuya, Tokyo and has always thought of herself as the ultimate city girl, except for the three years when she lived among cows and ever-beer-drinking the OSU students in Columbus, OH. Living and practicing Buddhism in NYC gives her a constant challenge and a golden opportunity to become a good teacher. Her teaching style comes from the Tibetan Buddhism lineage with a modern tweak. She welcomes all sentient beings in her life, especially humans and dogs.
