[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] DD Book Group next meets 6-7:30pm (Norman Fischer's Training in Compassion)

Hi friends,

Many thanks to Brandel for hosting the last meeting of the Downtown Dharma book group.

 

I will be hosting our next gathering on Saturday, June 11 from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm. For those of you who prefer to join on Zoom, here is the Zoom link. 

 

We agreed that we would read Norman Fischer's Training in Compassion: Zen Teachings on the Practice of Lojong. If you want, you may find it interesting to also look at one of Pema Chodron's books on this topic--she's written a few. As always, you're welcome to come even if you haven't read the book.

 

My living room is spacious but to ensure safety, I will be limiting the number of people who can attend in person--so please RSVP as soon as you know you would like to attend. Unless COVID rates are dramatically higher, masks will be optional. I have a compromised immune system--all in-person attendees must be fully vaccinated.

 

I'll have some light snacks and beverages on hand but you're welcome to bring additional vegetarian or dairy treats.

I will provide my home address when you RSVP. When you RSVP, please also let me know the following:

• Would you be interested in coming a half hour early for a sit?
• Can you bring a cushion or chair for you or someone else to sit on?

I look forward to seeing you in June. Please let me know if you have any questions at all.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

 

 

HOW TO GET IN: When you get to the building, use the arrows on the exterior buzzer on the right-hand side to get to "F" as my last name is "France de Bravo." It will ring me and I'll buzz you into the lobby. Once in the lobby,  the concierge will key you into the elevator. Tell them you are visiting Brandel France de Bravo in #433. Once on the 4th floor, you'll exit left. Our unit is on the left-hand side. If for some reason no concierge is on hand, kindly call me on my phone at 202-297-8676. I or my husband, Mario, will come down to escort you up. Sorry for any inconvenience!

 

I look forward to hosting you, and to a lively discussion.

 

Warmly,

Brandel France de Bravo
