WEEKLY 1/14/05 ANNOUNCEMENTS: - 6

See you Monday at Music Hall at noon for the MLK celebration.  Music, spirit, community!  e.

N.B. Jenny Edwards, Mallory's volunteers manager, will be at the salon Monday, MLK Day, with Catherine Barrett, running for state senate.  Be there, meet Catherine.
"Representative Catherine Barrett started working on her Senate campaign over a year ago. During the transition of Mallory to Mayor, his Senate seat was filled by registered independent appointee Eric Kearney, even though it was widely respected that Senator Mallory's choice was Representative Barrett. I believe that Catherine can offer some insights into work in the State Legislature that we have yet to hear from other Columbus connections, has a history in the environmental movement locally as councilmember and Mayor of Forest Park, and has sponsored bills important to overall health and also, specifically to cervical cancer. She has been consistant within her constituency intergenerationally on a variety of issues."

buddha dharma study group


New group formed at Lloyd House to study the Buddhist scriptures from the original (most ancient) Pali texts.
Saturday mornings 9:30 - 11:00

We will be slowly working our way through "In the Buddha's Words", translated and with introductions by Bikhu Bodhi
with  foreward by the Dalai Lama.
This is a tasty little group.  We will give you a copy of the book.  Come join us!

Format:

9:30, arrive, remove shoes, come up to the (beautifl) third floor meditation room.  
9:45: meditation for ten minutes
9:50: the leader for the  week reads the short passage, next in sequence.  Then the leader shares her/his reactions and thoughts.  Then we go around the circle, everyone sharing or passing.  No interruptions.  After everyone who wants has given their response, we have open discussion until 11:00.  
11:00: tea in the dinning room.

We have a web forum.  Richard Blumberg has been studying this material for years.  I love to listen to him explain it.  He is the guy who gave that excellent introduction to Buddhism last year at the salon.  



I have been meditating for decades, but had never studied the sutras.  This is a treat!   ellen
