[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Sunday Gathering - The Dharma of Direct Experience

Dear sangha,

Wishing you well this beautiful weekend. Going outside on a day like today? That's an easy choice. But a lot of life is confusing. Buddhist wisdom - the dharma - can be clarifying, but it can also be confusing. So many lists! So many numbers! So many metaphors! 

But what if enjoying the feeling of the sun on our skin was also dharma? If the open sky was our teacher, and our sensory experience the instructor? Tomorrow night, we'll explore some ways that our direct experience can lead us to greater wisdom, ethical living, and mindful presence. 

 

Join us…
