Hi friends, Just a reminder we will be holding the second part of our discussion of the movie Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring this Saturday at 6pm ET. I really loved the movie -- it was beautiful and deep. Themes such as sex and murder don't often make it in movies about Buddhist monks and the dharma! The film has some interesting points on these things and I for one am still working through...

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Sharing an article I just wrote about compassion

Dear DD community,As some of you know, I teach an 8-week course called Compassion Cultivation Training or CCT. I enjoy it and learn something new each time I teach, but I struggle with allowing myself to be vulnerable. As a poet, I also struggle with "storytelling," with finding personal stories that are appropriate and "instructive" in some way. Anyway, this article, published online last week, was my attempt to meet some...

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Dharma reading group...movie!

Hi friends,We've decided to try something a little different for our next reading group. Instead of discussing a set of articles or a book, we've instead decided to watch a dharma-related film and hold a discussion. The film I've chosen is one I'm really excited to watch "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring" (2003). It appears to be freely available on Tubi. Here's a preview for the film I found.We'll be meeting this...

Re: [Downtown Dharma Listserve] Metta Meditation recommendations?

Hi Suzanne!Leigh Brasington did a wonderful public service by compiling 19 translations of the Metta Sutta onto a single webpage. We use Bhante Gunaratana's translation at the Bhavana Society Forest Monastery where I live at least once a day. Maybe you could pick a translation which resonates with you and start with that? I do believe that reciting this sutta or something similar every day will make changes in...

Any favorites that have enriched your practice that you are willing to share?With much gratitude and, of course, metta,:) Suzanne ...
