[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Dharma Gathering Sunday - Tonglen or "Giving and Receiving" in this season of Presents

Dear dharma friends,

Wishing you so well as this weekend rolls in. It is a joy to be back with you, facilitating Downtown Dharma this Sunday, Dec 11, from 7-8:30pm at Yoga District at 1910 14th St. NW.  You can also join via Zoom. Masks will be OPTIONAL for this session, and are always welcome for those who prefer to wear one. 

This Sunday, we'll focus on Tonglen for a Season of Giving. Tonglen is a traditional Tibetan practice meaning "giving and receiving." Through the practice, we imagine being a vessel through which negative energy can dissipate, sending positive wishes instead. What better way to enter this season of gift-giving? We'll talk a little bit about generosity in the Buddhist tradition, and the origins of Tonglen, but we'll also reserve a fair amount of time for guided practice and discussion. No special shopping trips required. You have everything the world needs already within you. 

Attending In Person
If you are attending in person, you will need to do the following:

a) Register through the Yoga District sign-up link -- scroll way to the bottom for (14th street) Sunday 7pm.

b) Submit proof of boosted vaccination to yogadc@yogadistrict.com or present it in person at the studio.

c) Masks optional for this class.

d) Arrive 10 minutes early (6:50 pm) to check-in. (Since we staff these events ourselves, the doors will be locked at 7:10 pm and unfortunately, there will be no one at the desk to admit latecomers.)

 

We ask everyone to register and submit proof of boosted vaccination ahead of time to avoid delays. Class is held on the 3rd floor, up two flights of stairs.
