[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Reading group 4.17

Hi everyone!

For the next iteration of the Downtown Dharma reading/discussion group we're going to try meeting up....IN PERSON at Malcom X park at 5pm on Saturday the 17th. Hopefully the weather is nice!

The material for this month's conversation comes from Annie Dillard's book A Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, which despite not being a Buddhist book is one of the most inquisitive and joyful explorations of how mindfulness can reveal the miraculous in our surrounding environment I've encountered. She is a beautiful writer (seriously, like sublimely jaw-dropping in places) who captures how clear attention can transform experience, and also probes the relationship between mindfulness/attention and wisdom.

Please feel invited to join on the 17th. I wrote up some discussion questions (pdfs included) to frame the conversation. I think this should be fun, and thanks for being YOU.

With love,
