 A Sunday service and a series of six classes are coming up which related to the Bodhisattva path of Mahayana Buddhism:

Class on the Six Perfections: The Bodhisattva Path of Awakening
Six weeks. Fireside Room (in the main building)
According to Mahayana Buddhism, awakened mind naturally manifests in our experience as the Six Perfections: generosity, ethics, patience, effort, meditation and wisdom. Practicing the perfections as path puts us in touch with our own humanity, which gives us compassion for others, allowing wisdom to arise naturally.
Join Rita Frizzell as we explore one of the perfections each week: Generosity (Sept. 29), Ethics (Oct. 6), Patience ((Oct. 13), Joyful effort (Oct. 20), Meditation (Oct. 27), Wisdom (Nov. 3).
If you want to come for dinner, join us at 6:00. $7 for dinner, no cost for class.
First Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashville
Located at 1808 Woodmont Blvd near the intersection of Woodmont and Hillsboro in the Green Hills area of Nashville, not far from Rita's house. The entrance to the building can be surprisingly challenging for visitors to find. It is on the rear side of the church, near the top of the hill (on the northwest side). To get to the Fireside Room, enter the door on the left and continue down the hall and to the right. For questions, call Rita at 615-463-2374

Quote of the Week
"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."
