[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Fwd: Invitation to Join "YLM" Sutta Study, Meeting in CML on Third Sunday of the Month

Hi!

I wanted to share a wonderful opportunity for deeper study from our friend Hardy Cook.  One of the Sutta studies is held at the Center for Mindful Living, up in Tenleytown.

Dear Friends,

 

There are two sutta study groups under the IMCW umbrella.

 

The IMCW Sutta Study Group meets on the second Tuesday of the month at Catherine Brousseau's home in Silver Spring: https://imcw.org/Calendar/Event-Calendar/EventId/3313/e/sutta-study-group-12-feb-2019 This group has been meeting for many, many years.

 

More recently, another sutta study began meeting at the CML on the third Sunday of the month from 4:00 to 6:00. This group was started with graduates from Jonathan Foust's Year of Living Mindfully program but is now open to anyone with an interest in sutta study. The facilitator is Hardy Cook (bio attached). 

 

This group started with a presentation of background materials that are available on Hardy Cook's personal cloud (links provided). The group is currently completing its examination of the Sutta Nipata and in particular the fourth chapter of the Sutta Nipata, The Aṭṭhakavagga, or "Book of Eights," which is believed to be among the earliest of Buddhist texts and in which the Buddha's teachings are pared down to their most uncomplicated essence. Next, the group will be studying selected suttas from across the entire Pali Canon that illustrate important teachings of the Buddha. In many cases, multiple translations arranged in a tabular format will be provided. 

 

If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact Hardy Cook at hardy.cook@gmail.com.

 

With metta,

Hardy M. Cook, Ph.D.  

Professor Emeritus 

Bowie State University
