ONGOING NALANDABODHI MEDITATION OPPORTUNITIES

Book Club at Nalandabodhi New York
Friday, July 12, 6:30-9:00 pm

Discussing a selected book in a friendly and supportive group setting helps to develop a deep understanding and familiarity with the material. The book we are discussing is No Time To Lose, A Timely Guide To The Way of the Bodhisattva by Pema Chodron. Pema Chodron guides us through The Way of the Bodhisattva, a classic Buddhist Mahayana text composed by Shantideva. The procedure of our book club is to rotate discussion leadership. We will begin with a period of meditation from 6:30-7:00 pm. This upcoming session, we will discuss part of chapter 7 (from verse 6.13 to the end of chapter 7) and chapter 8. Future club meeting dates and chapter readings will be determined at each session, roughly once a month. Drop-ins are welcome. Suggested donation is $5.00. We look forward to seeing you!
