[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Correction: This Sunday Evening at the Potter's House

Hi friends,

It appears I got ahead of myself. This Sunday is a peer-led Sangha. Instead, I will be teaching on mental formations next Sunday, October 28th. Thanks to Linda for noticing my error. 

I hope you are able to join the Sangha tomorrow evening.

May you be well,
Kristin

Greetings Friends,

After being away for work and retreat, I'm looking forward to being with you again this Sunday evening, 6:00 to 7:30 pm at the Potter's House (1658 Columbia Rd, NW).

We'll continue the exploration of the super nerdy but completely fascinating five aggregates with a focus on the forth aggregate, mental formations.

Okay, what the heck is mental formations? Well, I maintain that I hit the jackpot by getting to explore this one with you for this is the peak process through which our own minds create suffering. This is our mental habit of telling intensely compelling stories of how things are, how they should be and finally (in the subtraction that leads to suffering) exactly how far things are from how they should be (and probably who is precisely to blame for this difference).

To investigate with kindness and non-judgmental awareness our mental formations is the beginning of releasing their intense grip on our minds, hearts and life energy.

I look forward to exploring this topic with you on Sunday!

Kristin
