Dear friends,
-- I am so grateful that Trisha Stotler, a longtime IMCW teacher and current Executive Director of the IMCW, is planning to share her insights with our community this Sunday as a guest teacher. She asked me to share this description of her planned talk:
The Ten Perfections, or paramis, are the Buddhist teachings that are specifically designed for bringing the path of awakening into the everyday life of a "householder" - that's us! They are a list of qualities you can develop in any situation, and when fully cultivated lead to liberation: Generosity, Virtue, Renunciation, Wisdom, Wise Effort, Patience, Truthfulness, Determination, Lovingkindness, and Equanimity. We may daydream of sneaking away to a tropical island with no responsibilities, but how do we use the mundane circumstances we currently find ourselves in - as spouse or partner, parent, boss or employee to name a few - to wake up here and now?
We will meet from 7-8:30 online and in person at Yoga District, 1910 14th St. NW to meditate, explore the dharma, and connect as a community. Please review the details for attendance below.
With love,
Devin
Attending In Person
If you would like to come in person, you will need to register with the studio and submit proof of boosted vaccination. You will also need to wear a mask. For everyone's safety and for the viability of this offering, these requirements are not negotiable. You can register through the Yoga District scheduling site, and you can submit proof of vaccination to yogadc@yogadistrict.com or present it in person at the studio. We ask everyone to register and submit proof of vaccination ahead of time so that we don't have long delays when we all get together.
We also ask that you try to come 10 minutes early – around 6:50. This will give us time to check folks in and acclimate to what is still a new space and process for most of us. Please note that the class is held on the 3rd floor, up two flights of stairs. There are rugs, bolsters, and folding chairs for seating. Please also note that we will be staffing these events ourselves so there will be no one at the desk to admit latecomers. The doors will be closed and locked at 7:10 and no one will be admitted after that.
