[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Film Screening and Discussion This Saturday: Animals & the Buddha: Awakening Compassion for All Beings

On the evening of Saturday, December 8 at the Center for Mindful Living, we will come together to shine the light of the Dharma on our relationship with animals.  Please join us for a screening of the film "Animals and the Buddha: Awakening Compassion for All Beings", directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Keegan Kuhn ("Cowspiracy", "What the Health"), to raise awareness and reflect upon the practice of extending active compassion to all animals, particularly the animals we might typically forget about.

After the film, Kristin Barker, IMCW teacher and founder of One Earth Sangha, and Alexandra Arbogast, meditation teacher in training and leader of the local local Dharma Voices for Animals chapter, will lead a discussion of the film. 

Some delicious and healthy plant-based food will be served to give participants a first-hand experience of one of the most powerful and positive steps they can take to reduce the suffering of sentient beings, improve health, and respond to climate change. 

Suggested donation of $10 is appreciated to cover costs. All proceeds benefit Dharma Voices for Animals and the work of spreading compassion for animals. We regret that this venue is not accessible for those with mobility impairments.

Location: IMCW Center for Mindful Living, (4708 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, Upper floor, Tenleytown, Washington DC, 20016) (Map It)
Time: 6:30 PM 9:00 PM ; Doors open at 6:00 PM 

We hope you can join us!
