Here is a summary of Great River Sangha's upcoming activities. Please spread the word to those who may be interested:
30 October: Our regularly scheduled meditation & Dharma talk will be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.
6 November: After voting, join us for Silent Meditation and Contemplation of the Four Universals (lovingkindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity) and no partisan politics at all as part of our Election Night Non-Coverage. De-compress after the intensity of this year's election cycle in a spirit of spiritual unity. As we recite in our meal prayer, let us come together "for our teachers, parents, nation and all sentient beings." Everyone is welcome. 7:30pm, Walden Room, Unitarian-Universalist Church of Arlington; beginners, please come at least ten minutes early for introduction and orientation. Do remember to vote!
13 November: After our usual meditation practice, we will conclude our study and discussion of the Surangama Sutra. Everyone is welcome. 7:30pm, Walden Room, Unitarian-Universalist Church
of Arlington; beginners, please come at least ten minutes early for
introduction and orientation.
20 November: We will begin a chapter-by-chapter series on the Lotus Sutra after meditation. The Lotus Sutra is the most popular Buddhist text in East Asia (particularly in Japan), and makes for particularly enjoyable and fulfilling reading (the Threefold Lotus Sutra is the recommended translation for this series, for those interested in following along at home). Everyone is welcome. 7:30pm, Walden Room, Unitarian-Universalist Church
of Arlington; beginners, please come at least ten minutes early for
introduction and orientation.
And in the planning phase... A Dharma movie night, and an introductory-level class for beginners to Buddhism and meditation practice. These two events will be scheduled once appropriate venues are confirmed. Stay tuned, friends!
