[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Fwd: IMCW Meet-Up Spot for Walk for Peace
Dearly Beloveds,
If anyone wants to join the events tomorrow and Tuesday to honor the Theravadan Buddhist Monks' 2,300 mile "Walk for Peace" culminating this week in DC and MD, IMCW's Trisha Stoler has been sending updates and this looks to be the most definitive schedule along with plans for how to meet up with other IMCW folks.
I'll share on the DD main Whatsapp group as well in case folks want to do further coordination within Downtown Dharma.

Hi friends,
I hope some of you (and your sangha members) can make it to one of the upcoming Walk for Peace events in DC. It's been a little difficult to get the word out to such a huge group as the IMCW "big group" list…we'll be posting this info on IMCW social media starting Monday so hopefully that helps our larger community. Their final schedule was posted a couple of days ago - From the official website:
* Tuesday, February 10 (Day 108):
– 7:00 AM: Walk begins
– 9:30–10:45 AM: Public Event at Bender Arena (American University)
– Lunch stop: National United Methodist Church (Invitees only)
– 1:00–2:30 PM: Interfaith Ceremony at Washington National Cathedral
– 2:30 PM: Unity Walk on Embassy Row
– Night Stop: George Washington University (Public Event)
* Wednesday, February 11 (Day 109):
– 9:30 AM: Walk to Peace Monument / Capitol Hill begins
– Lunch stop: St. Mark's Capitol Hill Church (Invitees only)
– 1:30 PM: Walk to Lincoln Memorial begins
– 2:30–4:00 PM: Peace Gathering and Concluding Ceremony at Lincoln Memorial
– 4:30–7:30 PM: Meditation Session with Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara at George Washington University Smith Center
If you would like to connect with people from IMCW on Wednesday on the National Mall, we'll be doing our best to gather between the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (the wall) and the "Three Servicemen" statue for the closing ceremony, which starts at 2:30pm. There's a photo of the statue below and a map of the location for reference. If you take Metro to the Foggy Bottom station and head south on 23rd Street to Constitution Avenue, you can enter the National Mall between 21st and 22nd Streets. We'll have a poster board that says IMCW and we'll hold it up as high as we can!
The monks will be walking to the Lincoln Memorial in a procession from St. Mark's Church on Capitol Hill starting at 1:30pm. You may also pick up with them at any point along their route and connect with us at 2:30.
I know some of us are also planning to attend the ceremony on the West Lawn of the National Cathedral on Tuesday. My cell number is 703-585-9364 if you can make it there and would like to connect. I imagine that event will be crowded as well but we shall do our best!
Hope to see you,
Trisha Stotler

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Downtown Dharma with Jeff Colombe this Sunday
Dear Downtown Dharma,
You are invited to join us and guest facilitator Jeff Colombe tonight to sit, learn, and build community. Read more about Jeff and what to expect, below!
Jeff Colombe has practiced secular Hinduism (Kashmir Shaivism) and Buddhism (Tibetan Kagyu lineage) for over 30 years, and has been giving seminars on topics in neuroscience, mental health, and meditation since 2014. After meditation and a facilitated partner activity, the dharma talk will explore the causes of happiness and suffering through the lens of the "bodhicitta aspiration", and five self-inquiry questions will be introduced that may be used as instruments of self-liberation. Given time, the evening will end with Q&A.
We hope you'll be able to join us in-person and if that's not possible for you, online.
In-person: Sunday, 7:00 to 8:30pm @ Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC
Online via Zoom: Join here
Warmly,
Jackie

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Sangha Activity - Celebrate Winter with a Haiku Hike & Dharma Talk
Hello!
Winter is such a contemplative season, so why not join us for a contemplative haiku hike and dharma talk? We are excited to continue this informal Downtown Dharma haiku series with an winter hike through Rock Creek 😊
What: Please join us for our Winter Haiku Hike through Rock Creek Park beginning with a dharma talk! Participants will learn how haiku relate to mindfulness and Zen Buddhism and receive brief instructions on how to write haiku. We will then take a mindful hike, taking breaks to write our own haiku about the nature we observe. (Haiku are short, accessible poems that typically evoke nature and contemplation of the present moment. Find examples of famous haiku here.)
When: Sunday, February 22, 11am-1:30pm (We will inform the sangha listserv and RSVP'd participants at least 24 hours in advance if the event will be canceled due to inclement weather or rough trail conditions.)
Where: We will meet at 11am near the Pierce Barn (2401 Tilden St NW) to gather for a ~30-minute introduction, including a dharma talk from Griffen Saul. Then, we will hike approximately 2.5 miles up the Western Ridge Trail to Boulder Bridge and loop back down the Valley Trail to end where we began. Lot parking is typically available near the start/end of our route. See the tentative route at the bottom of this email.
Who: Please RSVP on Partiful. (You can email us if you don't want to use Partiful.) All are welcome–no experience required! We have capped participation at 25 to ensure a great experience for everyone. While our pace will be slow and steady, this event is best suited for people who feel comfortable hiking more than 2.5 miles on park trails that are uneven and have some steep inclines and declines.
How: No experience necessary! We will go over simple instructions on how to write haiku. A handout on haiku will be provided. Please bring a notebook and pen.
Why: While haiku is not a strictly Buddhist form of poetry, haiku and Zen are closely linked historically and thematically. Haiku relies on the senses and encourages contemplation of the present moment, so both new and experienced meditators may enjoy practicing haiku as a way to engage with mindfulness. See additional resources at the bottom of this email for more info.
Questions? Please email Jude (judelavellewrites@gmail.com) and Griffen (griffensaul@gmail.com).

Article: Why Haiku Holds the Flavor of Zen
This brief article explores the Zen nature of haiku and connects the form to some principles from Western writing, if folks are more familiar with that.
