2nd Sunday: August 11 Open Door Dharma Circle

You are here: Home / Events / 2nd Sunday: August 11 Open Door Dharma Circle

By Betsy Toll

Open Door Dharma Circle

Second Sunday Gatherings

Friends Meeting House, 4312 SE Stark, Room 12
Sunday, August 11, 3:00–about 5:15 pm
All are welcome.
Masks are welcome but required at this time.

Come by and share time in simple silence with chanting and reflection. The heart of our gatherings is the bhakti and Buddhist blend of love, kindness, community, and service that Ram Dass and Neem Karoli Baba and teachers of many traditions have shared.

The space is carpeted and chairs are available.

Open Door Circles follow this general contour:

3:00–4:00  Settling   An hour of chanting, silent sitting, and dharma reflection, turning toward the stillness of the heart.

 Stretch & Tea break   Chai and small sweet & savory prasad bits are offered.

4:15–5:15  Being alive here and now   For 45 minutes or an hour, we check in, chat, and see how we are holding the world—its beauty and its challenges—when so much is spinning so fast.
