[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Fwd: [livingmindfully] Furlough Resource & Opportunities List from YLMx friends

Hi friends,

Some people in the larger IMCW community have pulled together resources for furloughed workers as well as opportunities to give time and money in support of those workers. 

This moment can be a great opportunity to reflect on giving and receiving. If you're interested, here's some spiritual food for thought. The website Access to Insight - a great resource for finding texts in the Pali Canon - has compiled some of the Buddha's teachings on generosity. If you scroll down there are some beautiful and pithy teachings. 

Also, this is not in the Thervadan/Insight/Vipassana tradition, but it's a personal favorite: Khalil Gibran's "On Giving."

With love,

Devin

Hello friends,

Jonathan Foust's Year of Living Mindfully Sangha (YLMx) is grateful for the opportunity to practice together at the Center.

We recognize that the five week government shutdown has affected Washington, D.C. area communities in many different ways.  We offer this partial list of furlough resources and volunteer opportunities with the hope it is of benefit to you or someone you know, whether directly or indirectly affected. Please use, share and add to the list as a community resource.

With metta,

YLMx friends
