[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday at Downtown Dharma: Finding peace in a world ever in flux

Dear beloved sangha,

This Sunday at 7:00 pm we'll gather to practice with finding our true selves in this world of impermanence and change. 

 

The Buddha taught that: all things are impermanent, this impermanence causes suffering, and heartfelt opening up to our interconnectedness can end our suffering. Our spiritual practices--like meditating in community--give us the strength to find comfort and happiness amidst the neverending ups and downs of our lives. 

 

We’ll do some mingling; meditate; I’ll share some reflections from a zen perspective on finding our true selves in an ever-changing world; and, we’ll have small group conversations. Plus, everyone gets a surprise party favor to bring home! 


This is a wonderful opportunity to gather in spiritual community and make new friends. Come join!   

  

🙏🏻♥️

Mark/Shinren


In-person: Sunday, 7:00 to 8:30pm @ Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC
