[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Tonight: The Power and Practice of Kindness

Greetings Dear Sangha,

Core to the Buddha's teachings is the practice of loving kindness, the cultivation of kind regard to all that we meet, internally and externally. We are growing a habit of kind regard. Yet this is not squishy stuff and we're not paving the way for others to walk all over us. On the contrary, under the right circumstances, true kindness can manifest as fierce power. Our developmental path necessarily includes an understanding of the theory and practice of Metta or loving kindness and its role in responding to suffering.

I hope you can join us this evening from 7 to 8:30pm for the development of our practice, wisdom, and community.
With love and gratitude,
Kristin
