Re: [Downtown Dharma Listserve] Re: Open places to meditate?

@Maha - what a lovely idea. The conservatory at the U.S. Botanic Garden comes to mind, though it's in DC right beside the Capitol building - so not necessarily convenient to VA. It is open every day 10-5, including all weekends and holidays. Curious to hear others' ideas and suggestions :)On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 10:49 AM, Maha Alkhateeb <maha@mahaalkhateeb.com> wrote:On a related note: Any recommendations for *enclosed*...

Re: [Downtown Dharma Listserve] Re: Open places to meditate?

I have and do. Daily practice as a formal practice is a work in progress for me, as is practice throughout the day, wherever I am. I have found that the stronger my daily practice, the more natural it is to practice throughout the day. Group sits are great and, for me, reinforces daily practice. My constantly changing schedule has made group practice more difficult...

Re: [Downtown Dharma Listserve] Digest for downtowndharma@googlegroups.com - 2 updates in 1 topic

Good question: I'd look into the Center for Mindful Living in Tenleytown, the Washington Buddhist Vihara in upper northwest (16th St), and a variety of temples in the surrounding suburbs. There's a beautiful Thai Buddhist temple on Layhill Road in Silver Spring - they might be fairly open to people wanting to come in to meditate,...

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Checking in

Because of my work schedule, I have not been able to come to the Sunday night sangha for the past 4 to 6 weeks, and I miss it! I have been reading about how important it is to practice in a sangha. I hope I can start coming again regularly in the next week or 2 and be there most of the summer. If there have been any announcements of interest to all, I hope they will be posted here. Last hope: that members will not find this posting...
