[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Next Month's Reading Group

Hi all,

Once again, as a part of the Downtown Dharma reading group we will read a book over the course of several months. This time, we'll read Emptiness: A Practical Guide for Meditators by Guy Armstrong. This is a continuation of our exploration of concepts from the last reading group; the book dives into some core concepts of anatta (no-self) as well as other difficult concepts such as the nature of phenomena, karma, compassion and many more.

We will be doing a combined in-person/Zoom meeting this time. We ask that participants only come in person if they have been fully vaccinated.

Meeting information:
  • Date and Time: June 26, 6:00-7:30 pm (with an optional group dinner after)
  • In-person meeting: Justin Koufopoulos's place in Columbia Heights (address forthcoming)
  • Zoom link will also be provided closer to the meeting time. 
Reading: For this session we will read chapters 1 through 8 (Introduction through "Bearing Emptiness.")

And as a reminder, everyone is always welcome to attend reading group, even those who have not attended before. It is also ok to attend if you have only done part of the reading. 

Looking forward, 
Kavya
