Greetings!
The posting of events does not imply an endorsement of the sponsoring groups or their political views. We post events sponsored by other groups when we think the topics will be of interest to CALC's members and friends. Often we have a close working relationship with those groups, but not always. Only CALC-sponsored or co-sponsored events carry our specific endorsement.

What Motivates People to Help Others in Need?
Thursday, November 8, 6:00 p.m.
Downtown Eugene Public Library, 10th & Olive
More than six billion people inhabit planet Earth. About one billion enjoy a high standard of living unprecedented in human history, while another billion live in extreme poverty, subject to great risk from hunger, disease, natural disasters, and human malevolence.
Recognizing the crucial need to motivate the wealthy to voluntarily share resources with the poor, Paul Slovic and his colleagues research what motivates people to aid others. In this talk, Slovic will share knowledge gleaned from laboratory experiments and surveys addressing questions including: How do our emotions motivate or impede decisions to help others? How do we decide when to give aid and how much to give? How can charitable donations and humanitarian contributions be increased?

This couple saved the lives of at least two dozen Jews in southern Holland during World War II. Catholics who led a simple life in a small town, they took risks and displayed bravery to help others in dire need, instilling hope during one of history's most horrific periods.

Construction of mandala:

Closing ceremony: Sunday, December 2, 4:00 p.m.
The Monks of Drepung Loseling Phukhang Monastery, visiting from South India, will build a traditional Tibetan Buddhist Sand Mandala at the Downtown Eugene Public Library over the course of three days.
An Opening Ceremony will be held on Friday, November 30, from 10:30 to 11:00 a.m., and a Closing Ceremony will be held on Sunday, December 2, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. The public is invited to watch the process at any time on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, when the Downtown Library is open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admission is free.
The Opening Ceremony will consecrate the site with approximately 30 minutes of chanting, music, and mantra recitation. Then the monks will begin the exacting work of drawing the lines for the design of the mandala. Throughout the following days, the monks will skillfully pour millions of grains of brightly-colored sand from a funnel-shaped metal tool known as a "Chakpur," creating an astonishingly detailed work of art. During the Closing Ceremony, the monks will dismantle the Mandala, sweeping up the colored sand "to symbolize the impermanence of all phenomena, teaching that everything that exists has a beginning, a middle and an end."
