Creation of Sand Mandala in BMU Atrium
The Venerable Lama Losang Samten, founder of the Tibetan Buddhist Center of Philadelphia and former assistant to the Dalai Lama, will be creating the Kalachakra sand mandala on the ground floor of the BMU from Jan. 28 through March 1. Samten has special permission from His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, to create this intricate, multi-hued mandala, known as The Wheel of Time. He will be working on the mandala from about 10am to 5pm Tuesdays to Sundays until March 1, taking time during the day to discuss the project with interested parties. CSU, Chico is fortunate to host Losang Samten and this amazing project; please plan to stop by and watch the work in progress.

Killer of Sheep (1977, U.S.A.) 81 min. In honor of Black History Month. Directed by Charles Burnett. Hosted by Peter Hogue, emeritus, Department of English. Co-sponsored by the Office of Diversity
A masterpiece of African American filmmaking and one of the finest in cinema history, Killer of Sheep was chosen for the national Film Regsitry of the Library of Congress and named one of the 100 Essential Films by the National Society of Film Critics. In the Los Angeles community of Watts, Stan, a sensitive dreamer, is growing detached and numb from the toll of working at a slaughterhouse. Frustrated by money problems, he finds solace in moments of simple beauty: the warmth of a teacup against his cheek, slow dancing with his wife, holding his daughter. Combining lyrical moments with neorealist style, Burnett unfolds his story with some passion and humor. The film’s luminous images and extraordinary soundtrack are a revelation in this new high-definition transfer from the UCLA Film and Television Archive’s brilliant 35mm restoration. Starring Henry Gayle Sanders and Kaycee Moore.
