At 10 AM on Sunday, December 17 -- after the 9:30 sit -- the Dharma Discussion will be on the Metta Sutta, a fundamental teaching of the Buddha. Carol, Cecilia and Sam will facilitate a reading, meditation and discussion on how we can use the practice of loving kindness in times of war, conflict and injustice.

No need to read the sutta in advance; we will have handouts on Sunday. However, for those who might wish to read it in advance, this is the translation we will use:

Dharma Discussion Sunday:

Those of us who have recently read and talked about the Pema Chodron book How You Live is How You Die would like to invite members this Sunday to engage in a discussion about the dying process. Specifically, we'd like to talk about our wishes for our own death, our hopes for how we can help those we love, and our plans for how we can support each member of the Sangha in their own process of dying.

Please join us with your thoughts and questions this Sunday from 10:00-10:30, after our 9:30 sit.

Warmly,
The Sunday Dharma Discussion Group

Sam Johnson will deliver the dharma talk this Sunday on the subject: Is it really just a small world after all? Here is a quote for consideration ahead of the talk:
"Bhikkhus, I say that the end of the world cannot be known, seen, or reached by travelling. Yet, bhikkhus, I also say that without reaching the end of the world there is no making an end to suffering. (SN 35.116)"

Please join us after the Sunday sit, in person or online.

Meditation: 9:30-10:00, Talk10:00-11:00
