Buddhist Book Club/ Discussion Group (no outside reading)

A laidback, no homework style Buddhist book club / discussion group.

Our book club will work through The Places That Scare You by Pema Chodron, which we'll read aloud and discuss one chapter at a time. Copies of the book are provided for free, all you need to do is show up.

It is appropriate and fine to miss weeks, you can jump in anytime without any prior reading. The chapters can pretty much stand alone, so no pressure to keep up with the reading if you miss.

The point of this Buddhist Book Club is to bring Buddhist concepts off the cushion into our daily lives.

Experience level: All experience levels welcome! Good for beginner meditators, never meditators, and experienced practitioners alike. You don't have to be Buddhist or know anything about Buddhism.

Schedule: 6pm - 7:30pm
Light meditation instruction
15 minute silent meditation
Read one chapter aloud from book (books provided)
Open discussion

Cost: Free. Books provided without charge (but available for purchase if you want to take one home).

Location: KSK Buddhist Center, in the library/bookstore - first small building in front of you as you enter the blue gate with white walls. To the left of the stupa/tower structure.

Parking: In the parking lot! Go straight down the driveway and make a left at the circle to park in the dirt parking lot.

More info: This group is grounded in Tibetan Buddhism. While KSK Buddhist Center is a Kagyu center, we welcome all Buddhists of any tradition or lineage as well as non-Buddhists. To learn more about KSK, please visit www.nobletruth.org

This event is cross-posted so more people will likely be at book club than this meetup reflects.
