[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Sunday Jan 19: Down the Path with The Five Precepts

Hello friends,

Wishing you warm and well as this week ends. Last week, many of us came together to take a vow of refuge in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. This week, we'll go just a bit further down the path towards the Five Precepts - a basic moral code of Buddhist life. You can preview a sutta with some beautiful language about the benefits of these "five gifts" here. Together, we'll discuss them in a bit more depth, with time for meditation, reflection and community conversation.

Practice with us this Sunday evening from 7 to 8:30pm:

In-person at Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC (please arrive 5-10 minutes early)
Online via Zoom — https://zoom.us/j/466237117?pwd=cGxHaTJlTVhBdldVSk8weDZuSW5udz09

Wishing you ease, peace and resilience however you choose to spend this MLK weekend. May all be healthy, happy, safe and at peace, and may we take wise action to make it so for all beings.

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Event with John Brehm, Author of The Dharma of Poetry, 1/15

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share an event that the Center for Mindful Living DC will be putting on Wednesday with John Brehm, author of The Dharma of Poetry. A link to register is at the bottom of the email. Would love to see you there!

In the Thick of It - an Evening with Award-winning poet John Brehm

Wednesday, January 15, 7-8PM FREE

"In times of crisis, people turn to poetry, both reading and writing it, for consolation, connection and a truth deeper than can be found in the daily news." - John Brehm, The Dharma of Poetry

Join us for this special evening with John as he gives a talk, guides a meditation, and reads poems from his two anthologies as well as his own poems. There will be time at the end for questions.

About John:
John Brehm was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska and educated at the University of Nebraska and Cornell University. He is the author of four books of poetry, Sea of Faith, Help Is on the Way, No Day at the Beach, and Dharma Talk. His collection of essays, The Dharma of Poetry, was published by Wisdom Publications and is a companion to his acclaimed anthology, The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy, also from Wisdom Publications. His latest book, The Poetry of Grief, Gratitude & Reverence, is an anthology of poems from poets such as Rainer Maria Rilke, Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, Czeslaw Milosz, Seamus Heaney, Billy Collins, Joy Harjo, Danusha Lameris, Ada Limon, Kevin Young, Arthur Sze, Ellen Bass, Li-Young Lee, Natasha Trethewey, and many more. In addition to the poems, the book includes an essay on appreciative attention and links to guided meditations for select poems, offering us a chance to have an even deeper experience of reflection.

His poems have appeared in Poetry, Ploughshares, The Gettysburg Review, The Sun, The Southern Review, Plume, Gulf Coast, The Missouri Review, New Ohio Review, The Writer's Almanac, Poetry Daily, Verse Daily, The Best American Poetry, The Norton Introduction to Literature, and many other journals and anthologies.

"John Brehm weaves together timeless wisdom and a deep poetic sensibility." Joseph Goldstein, author of Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday: What Is Actually and Consistently Helpful?

Where do you go when you are stressed, when you're overwhelmed, when the squeeze is on? The Buddha had some very specific advice about that, encouraging his followers to develop a habit of, when under duress, turning towards or "taking refuge" in that which is profoundly supportive.

Every year in January in order to cultivate this practice together, our Sangha engages in the ceremony of "taking refuge" in our innate wisdom, the teachings, and the community itself. This Sunday, January 12 will be devoted to this ceremony and will be led by two of our Sangha's core teachers: Shawn and Kristin. We hope you will join us.

We hope you can join us Sunday evening from 7 to 8:30pm for the development of our practice, wisdom, and community.

In-person at Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC (please arrive 5-10 minutes early)
Online via Zoom — https://zoom.us/j/466237117?pwd=cGxHaTJlTVhBdldVSk8weDZuSW5udz09

With love and gratitude,

Kristin and Shawn

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Re: Downtown Dharma Stream Cleanup Event

Hello everyone,

I am postponing this event a week to be held the same time (1-3pm) on Sunday, January 19th because of the possible snow this weekend. Hopefully it will be cleared up by next week!

Take care,

Nick

Hello everyone!

This is a reminder that I will be hosting a stream cleanup at P St. Beach next weekend. Looking forward to serving our watershed with you all! See my previous email for more information. There will be a prize for the volunteer who collects the most litter!

Have a great weekend,
Nick

Hello Downtown Dharma,

My name is Nick Staten, I am new to the sangha and looking forward to getting to know all of you!

In an effort to create community outside of Yoga District I wanted to host a stream cleanup event where we could all serve our watershed, it takes care of us in so many ways so why don't we return the favor! I usually cleanup at the mouth of the Rock Creek Watershed at P St. Beach which is right where the 33 mile long watershed drains into the Potomac River (an ideal area to collect trash before it heads out to the ocean!).

The event will be on Sunday January 12th from 1pm-3pm. Hopefully it won't be too cold, unfortunately litter doesn't hibernate! If you are interested, signup using this link: https://secure.everyaction.com/KTUGv4RZw0CkxF3BXl0-Rw2

This will be an official NPS / Rock Creek Conservancy event, but it will just be open to members of our sangha.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions! I'll attach some photos from my last event.

All my best,
Nick
