Hi friends,

In 2024 Tricycle Magazine (Also known as Tricycle: The Buddhist Review) updated their free online educational site called "Buddhism for Beginners." The title understates the breadth and depth of the content. While it is not the authoritative source of information, it is certainly an authoritative source of information and it attempts to provide a broad, thoughtful and open-minded orientation to Buddhism.

I recommend it for anyone who might be curious to learn more about Buddhism or who wants to orient what we do at Downtown Dharma within the larger concept of Buddhism as a whole. If you want to jump right to the part about where our practice fits into the larger constellation of practices go here.

Enjoy!

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Musicality of Being workshop & meditative listening at the White House

Dear Friends,

It was a joy to be with some of you on Sunday night for Insight Dialogue. If you were there, the following is more details for what I shared during the community announcements after the practice.

First, you are warmly invited to join me in Rock Creek Park, this Saturday 1/24, 10am-1pm for the Musicality of Being workshop.

This is a nature immersion, collective walking meditation and dialogue practice. In a similar vein to Insight Dialogue, we walk the trails with a partner (who changes throughout the workshop) sharing aspects of our present moment experience. There are also periods of walking individually and an opportunity to meditate next to the creek.

The practice invites us to gradually build up a multi-layered attunement that simultaneously encompasses our inner world, the company of our fellow hikers and the life of the park all around us, discovering a somatic sense of "what interconnectivity feels like."

If you can't make it on the 24th, the workshop will be offered again on February 7 and 21.

and/or connect on Facebook here

Second, you are also invited to join a small, but growing group of meditators who sit every Sunday at the White House, meeting up at 10am.

We sit not in protest, but as a demonstration of the power of listening and an invitation to White House visitors to bring more listening into their lives. At this moment of growing political conflict, listening is a practice that can benefit all of us, regardless of our specific views.

You can read more about the practice here

and find a shareable Facebook event here

If you are thinking of joining, the best thing would be to reply to me directly because we do sometimes adjust our meet-up times slightly because of weather or other circumstances. That way I can keep you in the loop!

Warm wishes to all!

Seth

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] A Wonderful Resource

Hi friends,

In 2024 Tricycle Magazine (Also known as Tricycle: The Buddhist Review) updated their free online educational site called "Buddhism for Beginners." The title understates the breadth and depth of the content. While it is not the authoritative source of information, it is certainly an authoritative source of information and it attempts to provide a broad, thoughtful and open-minded orientation to Buddhism.

I recommend it for anyone who might be curious to learn more about Buddhism or who wants to orient what we do at Downtown Dharma within the larger concept of Buddhism as a whole. If you want to jump right to the part about where our practice fits into the larger constellation of practices go here.

Enjoy!

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Insight dialogue this Sunday

Hello Sangha,

This Sunday I'm delighted to facilitate our monthly session centered on the meditation practice of Insight Dialogue.

Together we'll experiment with breaking one of the usual rules of insight dialogue - we'll be asking questions! In Insight Dialogue we typically refrain from questioning or responding directly to what a partner has shared. Yet in daily life, responding is often necessary. This session will explore how we can bring mindfulness and care into that very human exchange.

Please join us this Sunday, 7:00–8:30 pm:

• In person: Yoga District, 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor
• Online: via Zoom – Join here

If you're coming in person, it helps to sign up in advance on the Yoga District website and to arrive by 6:55 so we can settle in together.

All are welcome, whether it's your first time or you've been exploring relational meditation for years.

With metta, Nick

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Sunday meditations in front of the White House

Dear Downtown Dharma Community,

As the level of noise continues to rise in our increasingly fractured society, one of the most valuable skills we can practice is listening.

As some of you know, I began a meditative listening practice in front of the White House last fall, and the practice is still ongoing. A small group of meditators meets every Sunday at 10am in Lafayette Park and we listen to the way the energy is moving in this highly charged space.

This practice is also intended as a demonstration to others of what deep listening looks like and an encouragement to all to bring more listening into our lives. We would love to have you join us, this coming Sunday or any other Sunday soon. The intention is to continue throughout 2026.

Learn more here / Connect on Facebook

Or feel free to reply directly to this email if you'd like to meet up or get more information.

Warmly,

Seth Dellinger
