dharma discussion
-
Listening deeply, serving beings in
countless ways.
- Dharma discussion is an opportunity to benefit
from each other’s insights and experience of the
practice. It is a special time for us to share our
experiences, our joys, our difficulties and our
questions relating to the practice of mindfulness.
By practicing deep listening while others are
speaking, we help create a calm and receptive
environment. By learning to speak out about our
happiness and our difficulties in the practice, we
contribute to the collective insight and
understanding of the Sangha.
-
- Please base our sharing on our own experience of
the practice rather than about abstract ideas and
theoretical topics. We may realize that many of us
share similar difficulties and aspirations. Sitting,
listening and sharing together, we recognize our
true connections to one another.
-
- Please remember that whatever is shared during
the Dharma discussion time is confidential. If a
friend shares about a difficulty he or she is
facing, respect that he or she may or may not wish
to talk about this individually outside of the
Dharma discussion time.
