[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Reminder: Introduction to Insight Dialogue begins tonight at 7pm

Hi Dharma Friends,

Just a gentle reminder that Introduction to Insight Dialogue with Sue Brown begins tonight at 7:00-8:30pm online.

With the weather being so chilly, this feels like a perfect time to gather.  This course explores relational dharma—how mindfulness comes alive in connection.  Each week, we'll spend time with one of the Insight Dialogue guidelines, learning how to bring more presence, kindness, and clarity into the way we listen, speak, and relate with one another.

This is a welcoming, experiential space where you can slow down, practice together, and discover how wisdom naturally unfolds through relationship.  Sue Brown is an exceptional teacher, bringing genuine warmth and care to the practices she offers.

You're warmly welcome to join us.  This is being organized by the Center for Mindful Living - DC.   For more information or to register: https://tockify.com/cmldc/detail/806/1770249600000

With a grateful heart,
Michele

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Fwd: Welcoming the Peace Walk Monks as they enter Washington DC

I dont' know if this is the same as the Walk for Peace that IMCW alluded to in its last email, but I thought I'd pass it along in case not. I find it inspiring.

Save the dates: Peace Walk events in Washington, DC (Feb 10–11)

View this email in your browser Dear friends,  Like many, we have been following and being inspired by the progress of the Peace Monks (and Aloka) as they make their way from Fort Worth to Washington, DC. We are writing to let you know that our sanghas in the DMV are making plans to welcome the monks with our own peaceful, mindful presence when they arrive in DC. We hope you will join us! Our local sanghas have formed a "Peace Walk Welcoming Committee" which will suggest meeting location(s) and keep you informed about suggestions for where and when to meet so that we can practice together on the day of their arrival. For Opening Heart, our point of contact for folks who want to join the walk is Sunil Misra. You can email him here. Route, Timing, and Meeting Location: While the monks have now confirmed their presence in Washington, DC, on February 10 and 11, details related to their arrival walk into the city, including route, timing, and gathering locations, are still unfolding and may not be finalized until one or two days beforehand. Route: The monks plan on being in Arlington prior to entering DC. They have mentioned ending their walk at the White House, but it is not clear if that means the Mall, the actual White House, or some other location, such as the Capitol. If they are staying in Arlington the night before, they might come via the Key Bridge or the Memorial Bridge.  We may not know which bridge until one or two days ahead of time. Timing: TBD. Friends in North Carolina have reported that the monks arrived several hours later than advertised at their location in Siler, NC. Furthermore, the crowds were larger than expected, so the location for the dharma talk was changed at the last minute. We should be flexible and prepared for changes and delays (impermanence!). Meeting Location(s): As there are still several unknowns about the actual route, the ending point, and whether they have a Permit for a specific location on the Mall (we are trying to find out), we cannot finalize our own meeting points just now.  Again, none of this may be clear until one or two days prior to their arrival. For now, we are considering two locations:  a meeting point for those who would like to walk in mindful silence with or in close proximity to the monks (maybe a mile or less)  a final gathering point for those who prefer to wait in silent meditation for the monks to arrive and to be joined by their fellow sangha members.  Our Sangha Presence as we Welcome the Peace Monks: As we gather together, let's have the intention to support the wish of the monks who, over and over again, remind us that they are not practicing for us, but to encourage us to practice peace and compassion in our own lives.  Let us bring the teachings of our dear and respected teacher, Thay, in our hearts as we come together in Washington DC to welcome the monks.   It is possible that the day will bring us challenges - changes of venue, large noisy crowds, or inability to hear the monks, etc. May we accept the conditions that arise with gratitude. Let us support each other and those around us with equanimity and hold fast to our intention to maintain peaceful silence, to walk mindfully, and to offer our collective presence for all beings that they may be safe, happy, and peaceful. Keeping in Touch: Please keep in touch with your sangha representative as listed above, and let them know if you plan to attend so that we can know who to expect.

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Interested in reading group this month (Feb)? - seeking host and facilitator

Hi all,

Downtown Dharma typically has a meditation/Buddhist-themed reading group and vegetarian potluck every month. This is a wonderful chance to deepen connections and explore ideas outside the Sunday sits.

Recent readings have focused on: classic Buddhist works, working with this moment, social action, embodied awareness, and navigating life's challenges. Future topics could be whatever you want!

For a reading group to happen:

• Someone needs to volunteer to host a group of ~10 people for a talk and vegetarian potluck, at a location centrally located in DC (usually on a Saturday evening);
• and someone needs to volunteer to facilitate the group.
• Facilitating involves choosing (easily available) reading(s) (could be a book, article, video, podcast, etc.), and leading a discussion.

If either (or both) of these roles sound like something you'd like to do this month (February), please let me know!

🙏

-Megan

(Reading Group Coordinator)
