Re: [Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Book club Feb 17 - dating and relationships

Hi all - just to clarify the date here is Saturday February 17 (not December). Hope to see y'all there!

Sangha,

Ava M (who has kindly agreed to lead the session) and I have worked out a few readings for our session on "Dating and Relationships" on Sat, Dec 17, all of which are short and available online:

1. https://aeon.co/essays/does-buddhist-detachment-allow-for-a-healthier-togetherness

2. https://www.lionsroar.com/intimate-relationship-as-a-spiritual-crucible/

3. https://www.lionsroar.com/rethinking-buddhism-and-sex-2/

4. https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/mn/mn.087.than.html

Of course, we can also range beyond the topics discussed in these essays (and sutta), and we hope people will come ready for a lively and thoughtful discussion.

My address is 850 Quincy St NW, Apt 621, Washington, DC 20011 (directly above the Petworth metro). We're meeting at 6:30pm and starting with a brief sit. Please sign up here; I can comfortably fit up to 10 people in my apartment, but if things fill up, add your info to the bottom and I'll keep a waitlist. 

I'll have a big pot of something vegan as a main dish and some kind of starch. Bring sides, desserts, or whatever else you'd like to contribute (ideally vegetarian or vegan).

See you in two weeks!

Greg
