Hi friends,

Linda and Kristin are planning to come in this evening, despite the snow. I will be unable to make it, but I am sending lots of love.

A snowy evening is a wonderful time to take refuge in the company of friends, teachings of liberation, and our own awakening hearts. Many blessings to everyone!

With love,

Devin

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Sunday at The Potter's House 6:00 - 7:30 PM

Happy 2019 everyone!

We look forward to our gathering at the Potter's House this Sunday, January 13 from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm. We will meet in the Community Room behind the bookstore/cafe. The meeting space is wheelchair accessible. Chairs and some meditation cushions will be available, but please feel free to bring your own gear.

All three of our regular teachers, Devin, Kristin, and Linda will lead this special gathering, to mark the beginning of the New Year. After our regular meditation period, we will engage together in our annual "refuge ceremony" to affirm and remind ourselves of the beautiful and powerful resources of our practice. We will follow with a community conversation to discover which class formats, topics, activities, etc. will be most helpful to you and your practice in 2019.

We look forward to practicing together, hearing and gathering your feedback and just being with you.

Much love,

Linda, Kristin, and Devin

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Sunday @ the Potters House 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Hi friends,

Our lives are filled with music: the beating of a heart, the singing of a bird, the harmonizing of a Sunday choir (the jams that the Potter's House staff play in the background while we are meditating). These beats and notes vibrate through the prism of human minds, where they are recomposed through memory and creative association. We can look back upon the soundtrack of our lives, at once unique, but also universal. Rhythm, melody, and harmony belong to no one and everyone. Music ripples down through generations, across species, and through "inanimate" objects like trees, oceans, and houses. This is the truth of anatta or "no self," and it applies not only to music but to every aspect of existence.

Before grinding away at the resolutions for a new year, let's take the opportunity to get together and listen to the music that is already playing (effortlessly, beautifully, perfectly) across the universe and through these minds and bodies. Join me at the Potter's House this Sunday from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM to meditate, contemplate the Buddha's teaching of anatta, and maybe feel our way into the loving spirit that holds us all.

We will meet in the Community Room, located in the back of the Potter's House Cafe at 1658 Columbia Rd. The space is wheelchair accessible. Chairs and some meditation cushions will be available, but please feel free to bring your own gear if you'd like.

With love,

Devin

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Sunday: Dharma @ The Potter's House

Hi friends,

As I have come to understand the teachings in the Pali Canon, the Buddha offered a way of observing and relating to experience that frees the mind from all forms of suffering - anguish, despair, longing, craving, hatred, and anxiety to name a few. My intention this week is to share some of the teachings on suffering so that we might all see through the patterns that perpetuate it. We will also practice meditation so that we might apply these teachings to our lived experience.

If this aligns with your intentions, please join us from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM in the Community Room at the back of the Potter's House Cafe, located at 1658 Columbia Rd. The space is wheelchair accessible. Chairs and some meditation cushions will be available, but please feel free to bring your own gear if you'd like.

I hope to see you then!

With love,

Devin

December 2018

On Behalf of Mission of Love Charities, Inc. we hope everyone had a great Holiday. December has been a very busy month for our organization. On December 19, 2019 we welcomed BJ's employees who showed what volunteerism is all about, they filled our pantry, helped us sorting, bagged the toys and helped us clean our warehouse in preparation to our big Toy Shop event to be held the next day. Thank you BJ's for allowing us to serve more clients in need!

On December 20, 2018 we were able to provide Food Baskets to 148 families, had 354 toy registrations and 25 toy/turkey walk-ins. Our Santa took pictures with the kids (and adults as well) and once again we were able to meet our goal to provide more than 350 toys to low income households. We gave slightly used donated toys to the kids that attended the event hoping that the toys the parents were picking up for them would be under their trees on Christmas Day. During this event we also provided SNAP Outreach education to households and we had a special table with information about Food Stamp benefits and about the Together Program for couples.

Our first Holiday Teen Girl Shop event welcomed 17 teenagers (out of 37 pre-registered) who were able to get new outfits including jewelry, shoes and accessories for this Holiday. Thank you Francesca's Boutique for donating the clothing and accessories and Southern Management for providing the food for this event.

We honored our Staff and most loyal Volunteers on December 21, 2018 during our Holiday Breakfast in order to thank them for their hard work during the year.
