[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Sunday @ the Potters House 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Hi friends,

Our lives are filled with music: the beating of a heart, the singing of a bird, the harmonizing of a Sunday choir (the jams that the Potter's House staff play in the background while we are meditating). These beats and notes vibrate through the prism of human minds, where they are recomposed through memory and creative association. We can look back upon the soundtrack of our lives, at once unique, but also universal. Rhythm, melody, and harmony belong to no one and everyone. Music ripples down through generations, across species, and through "inanimate" objects like trees, oceans, and houses. This is the truth of anatta or "no self," and it applies not only to music but to every aspect of existence. 

Before grinding away at the resolutions for a new year, let's take the opportunity to get together and listen to the music that is already playing (effortlessly, beautifully, perfectly) across the universe and through these minds and bodies. Join me at the Potter's House this Sunday from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM to meditate, contemplate the Buddha's teaching of anatta, and maybe feel our way into the loving spirit that holds us all.

We will meet in the Community Room, located in the back of the Potter's House Cafe at 1658 Columbia Rd. The space is wheelchair accessible. Chairs and some meditation cushions will be available, but please feel free to bring your own gear if you'd like. 

With love,

Devin
