[Downtown Dharma Listserve] This Sunday's Online Sangha: A Potluck of Joys and Sorrows

Greetings Dear Sangha,

I hope this message finds your body healthy, your mind relaxed, and your heart enveloped in kindness. 

Our zoom meeting will take place this Sunday at 6:00 pm. But here's the thing: We had scheduled our quarterly potluck. Undaunted, we're inviting you to go ahead and gather your laptop, your dinner, your cushion and join our party. As this is the potluck evening, our emphasis will be on connecting. So we'll practice together, and then I'll offer just a few thoughts on cultivating equanimity and we'll explore this topic and more in smaller breakout rooms. We really hope you'll join us as coming together this way can help this already strong and wise community arise from this period even stronger, even wiser. 

Consistent with the last few weeks, we'll be meeting on Zoom, a free program you can access from a computer or phone. As part of taking care of the Sangha, we have a few requests:
  • Please make sure your computer or device is ready in advance by ensuring that you have the latest version of zoom, and that your mic and camera are working.    
  • Please be on time and plan to be "in the room," that is, be ready to devote your full attention to our gathering, ideally until the end of the meeting. 
  • If possible, join from a quiet place. However, we welcome you to join if this is not the case as microphones are muted except for those speaking.
When the time arrives, join the zoom meeting here:
