[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] An article related to next Sunday's meditation

Dear Friends, 

I'm looking forward to sharing with you at this Sunday's meditation gathering on the theme of Upright Sitting & Beginner's Mind.

If you are interested in a preview, I just published an article today, Practice to become your true self, that draws on the teachings of somatic educator Moshe Feldenkrais (my lineage) and Zen master Shunryu Suzuki, author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. It also includes two videos that will give you a head start on the sitting posture work we'll do together.

It's a substantial article, so I wanted to share it with you in advance in case you are interested in looking at it before Sunday.

Warmly, 

Seth Dellinger

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday: Truthfulness and the Mind in Motion

Hi friends,

This Sunday, I’ll be joined by Robert Rhyne, lay teacher at the Washington Buddhist Vihara, for an evening of Insight Dialogue exploring truthfulness.

Together we’ll slow things down and notice the mind in motion: wanting comfort, wanting approval, rehearsing what to say next, resisting awkwardness, trying to sound wise, hoping the room temperature changes — you know, the usual human experience.

In Buddhist practice, these movements aren’t something to judge or suppress. The invitation is to know them truthfully, with kindness and even amusement.

We hope you will join us!

• In-person: Sunday, 7:00 to 8:30pm @ Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC

• Online via Zoom:  Join here  

With love,

Vince

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Free Mindfulness Meditation Class Series: Back to the Basics, Back to the Heart

Good Evening Dear Sangha,

Some of you may know me as the facilitator for CML’s monthly Dharma Contemplation Class, and others may know me as a facilitator of Insight Dialogue.  I wanted to warmly invite you to a new four week online class series I will be teaching through CML on Mindfulness Meditation.  These sessions are free and are part of my practicum to receive my certification through the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP).  I hope you can join me.  Additional details can be found below.

With Metta,

Maura Flanagan

DETAILS:

Join Maura Flanagan as she offers a 4-week class series, "Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation -- Back to the Basics, Back to the Heart" from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. No experience is necessary, and a beginner's mind is welcome!

This class will meet on 4 successive Monday evenings for 90 minutes, starting June 1st and concluding on June 22nd. We will work together and learn from one another as we move from the four foundations of mindfulness to meditation practices that include: mindfulness of the body; mindfulness of feelings, thoughts, and emotions; and mindfulness of heart qualities, including lovingkindness. We will wrap up the program with a discussion of how to use these meditation practices in the challenging world we are living in today.

Each class will have a talk, meditation practice period, and a time for questions and responses. There will be optional homework each week to deepen participants' practices in between sessions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This series is free and being offered by Maura Flanagan as her practicum in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP). These classes will be recorded so that her mentor can evaluate her teaching capabilities. These recordings will only be viewed by her mentor. After you have registered, Maura will send you a consent form to ensure that you are fully aware the course is being recorded for her evaluation. While life can happen, and we understand that, we hope you can join Maura for all four sessions and complete an evaluation following the series so that Maura and her mentor can receive your feedback on the offering and learn ways she can improve her teaching skills. Your feedback is valued and very much appreciated!!!

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Dharma Book Club | The Power of Now (Saturday, 5/30 4-6pm)

Hi Community,

My name’s Kerrigan, and I’m the new book club coordinator. Huge thanks to Megan for showing me the ropes and helping with the transition.

• Location: Sarita’s place (in DC, more details to come)

• Reading: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

Note:
We know the timeframe is a bit tight on this one, and we don’t want the perfect to be the enemy of the good. 😊

Our host, Somender, shared that each of us can pick a few chapters that stand out to us if we don't have time for the full reading. Somender also shared a few supplemental links that work for the discussion too. You can find those here and here. 

Action Item

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday at Downtown Dharma: Haiku, Creativity, and Dharma

Dear sangha,

This Sunday at 7pm, we'll gather to meditate and relate. I look forward to offering a peer-led session inspired by the Zen haiku masters and how this Buddhism-adjacent artform has evolved around the globe since it began in 1600s Japan. After some mingling and a 25-minute sit, I'll share some haiku (and some haiku history) to discuss how art and creative expression can bring us into the moment and vice versa. Then, we'll open it up to group conversations around the intersection of art, creativity, and dharma in our own lives.

I write, erase, rewrite,
erase again, and then
a poppy blooms

--common translation of Hokushi (d. 1718)

Hope to see you there!

🙏🏻♥️

Jude

In-person: Sunday, 7:00 to 8:30pm @ Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC

Online via Zoom:  Join here  

A reminder if you're joining us in person: please arrive at least 10 minutes early as the line to check in can be long. There are plenty of friends to make while you're waiting for the formal program to begin.
