[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] [Downtown Dharma Listserv] This Sunday - The Secret Strength of Sadness

Hi all,

This Sunday evening we have a community-led Sangha which I look forward to facilitating. We'll meditate for ~30 minutes, and then I plan to give a talk and guide discussion around the benefits of opening to sadness. I got interested in this topic several years ago after I read an article in Tricycle magazine called The Secret Strength of Sadness by Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, and it has led to a surprising change in my practice over the years, which I'd like to share.

We start at 7pm and will end by 8:30pm:
  • In-person at Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC (please arrive 5-10 minutes early)
  • Online via Zoom:  Join here
For those who are joining in person and want to continue socializing after the session, a group of folks will be heading over to the nearby Malai ice cream shop - everyone is welcome to join.

Best,
Nate
