What's Your Dharma?

Downtown Dharma Sangha

DATE: 8/29/2021 TIME: 7:00 - 8:30 PM

Location: Online Zoom ID: https://zoom.us/j/466237117?pwd=cGxHaTJlTVhBdldVSk8weDZuSW5udz09

Facilitator- Travis M. Spencer

Mindful Helper- Elicia Wright

According to Salisha of Yoga Approved.com, dharma means your purpose in life; additionally, Salisha states that your dharma is your true calling or what you were put on earth to do.

During our time together we will participate in a heart-centered practice of listening and sharing with one another. We will discuss embracing our dharma to guide our spiritual awakening, healing, and wellness.

"We can easily get lost in the chaos of all these voices, but once we can access and become attuned to it, our dharma acts as a guiding light. And once we become aware of our true purpose, we can step into our full power and potential."

- Saiisha

with METTA (loving-kindness),

Hi friends,

I'm honored to be the guest teacher for your regular class this Sunday.
We will meet on Zoom (information below) from 7 to 8:30 pm to meditate, explore the dharma, and connect with each other. This will be a virtual class.

This week we'll explore what does it mean to take refuge in oneself.

As the Buddha told Ananda:
"Therefore, Ananda, be islands unto yourselves, refuges unto yourselves, seeking no other refuge; with the Dharma as your island, the Dharma as your refuge, seeking no other refuge."
We will explore this teaching together.

I'm looking forward to being with you.

in sangha,
Silvia

Hi all,

We'll be meeting for the third and final time to discuss Emptiness: A Practical Guide for Meditators by Guy Armstrong on Saturday, August 21 at 6pm. We'll be discussing Part II (Phenomena) and Part III (Awareness). Personally, I've deeply enjoyed reading this book and have felt it have a fruitful impact on my practice. The discussions at the first two meetings have been free-ranging and (in my opinion) some of the most insightful since we started this book club almost 2 years ago. I'm really looking forward to finishing it out! There is no pressure to have read the book or have attended the previous two sessions in order to participate.

Please email me at lukehorvathnd@gmail.com if you'd like to RSVP so that I know how many chairs to arrange.

Meeting Information:
We will be doing a combined in-person/Zoom meeting this time. We ask that participants only come in person if they have been fully vaccinated.

August, 21 6:00-7:30 pm
Address: Luke Horvath's house. 1039 Quebec Pl NW, Washington, DC 20010

With love! I hope you all have good weeks!
