Greetings!

Due to popular request, we will replace our usual dharma study this Friday night with meditation, 7:00 to 8:00. Then we'll come together again Saturday, 1:00-300 for an afternoon with Mike Snider!

Friday 7:00-8:00 - Meditaion
Since we're only meeting for an hour, let's try to get started right on time. We'll review Ken McLeod's instructions for sitting in the experience of breathing which he gave at the end of last week's teaching, then we'll sit, with a stretching break in the middle. We'll return to our normal dharma study next week.

If you missed the first session of Releasing Emotional Reactions:

Saturday, 3:00-5:00 - An Afternoon with Mike Snider
When I heard Mike speak at OneDharma in November, the only thing missing was being able to share it with the rest of our group. I left that talk with a sense of great spaciousness and inspiration. I hope you can come... Be sure to register online so I can figure out seating. It looks like we're going to have a full house, so come early to get a seat! 

Location: Home of Rita Frizzell in the Belmont/Hillsboro neighborhood, 1716A Linden Avenue, Nashville, TN 37212. 615-463-2374. Click here for map.

Luminous Mind Presents
A Gathering with Mike Snider
"Getting Easy with Nonduality"

Saturday, January 23, 1:00-3:00 p.m.
Love offering ($10-15 recommended, no minimum)
 
Those who attended Mike's recent OneDharma satsang (or "cutting through the crap" as he prefers to describe his sharing) were moved by his music, humor, clarity of being, and straightforward message of truth of who we are. Delivered in simple, straightforward language, with great humor and compassion, Mike shares the story of his own search for Truth and its ultimate collapse. I was happy to meet him and get a big hug afterwards, and invite him to come talk to our group as well.

Mike Snider hails from Gleason, Tennessee, and is a musician extraordinaire, a regular performer on the Grand Ole Opry. He has been asked by Adyashanti to share his knowledge and deep realization of the truth of awakening. Mike's message of nonduality is resonant with the nondual teachings of Buddhism and other religions; in fact, such experience transcends religious barriers altogether.

If you've ever wondered whether nondual realization is possible in this lifetime, or how it plays out in lived experience, his talk will provide inspiration and refreshment. Ample time will be given for questions and answers in a relaxed atmosphere.
 
Location: the home of Rita Frizzell, 1716A Linden Avenue in the Belmont Hillsboro neighborhood in Nashville. Seating and some cushions provided. Feel free to bring your own.

Quote of the Week

The friend who is a helpmate,
the friend in happiness and woe,
the friend who gives good counsel,
the friend who sympathises too --
these four as friends the wise behold
and cherish them devotedly
as does a mother her own child.

- Shakyamuni Buddha, Dīgha Nikāya 3.265
Let's wake up!

With love,
