Hi All,
I'd like to host a Buddha Brunch for Saturday, September 27th, from
Noon to 2:30 or so.
I don't have a reading list, but I'd like to continue a thread from
previous Buddha Brunch's regarding engaged Buddhism. A couple of
brunches ago we decided to do some volunteering at St. Stephen's
Loaves and Fishes. It was a great opportunity to help Loaves and
Fishes serve hungry people in our community.
I would like to see if members of the Downtown Dharma Sangha are
interested in a sustained effort to engage on social issues in the
community, the nation, and the world. I'm not sure exactly what it
would look like. There are so many important causes to get engaged in,
and many of us are already stretched thin or engaged in some effort
already. Partly, I'm looking for ways that I can personally contribute
to a more just society from a Buddhist perspective. I am also hoping
that others who feel the same way would be interested in finding ways,
perhaps small, to contribute to a variety of issues, perhaps on a
rotating basis.
If I can find some appropriate readings, I will send them around.
Suggestions are also welcome.
If you're interested in attending, please RVSP. I'll send my address.
With metta,
Scott
