[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Tomorrow: Effort, Lovingkindness, and the Protection of the Mind

Dear friends, 

Tomorrow evening at Downtown Dharma, I'm excited to share with you the Buddha's foundational teaching on Right Effort. (For anyone wanting a preview, the Sutta is here!)

In particular, we'll look at how practices such as the cultivation of lovingkindness (metta) can protect our precious minds from being overtaken by anger, addiction, despair, and other forms of suffering and struggle. 

I will offer a lovingkindness meditation, and a talk on the four different kinds of Right Effort that the Buddha taught. We will have the chance to share in small groups about how we might bring all four aspects of Right Effort into our daily practices. 

You can join online or in person: 
See you soon, 
Dechen // Ellen
