[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday at Downtown Dharma: Haiku, Creativity, and Dharma

Dear sangha,

This Sunday at 7pm, we'll gather to meditate and relate. I look forward to offering a peer-led session inspired by the Zen haiku masters and how this Buddhism-adjacent artform has evolved around the globe since it began in 1600s Japan. After some mingling and a 25-minute sit, I'll share some haiku (and some haiku history) to discuss how art and creative expression can bring us into the moment and vice versa. Then, we'll open it up to group conversations around the intersection of art, creativity, and dharma in our own lives.

I write, erase, rewrite,
erase again, and then
a poppy blooms

--common translation of Hokushi (d. 1718)

Hope to see you there!

🙏🏻♥️

Jude
