Buddhist Book Club/ Discussion Group (no outside reading)

A laidback, no homework style Buddhist book club / discussion group. Our book club will work through *Open Heart, Clear Mind* by Thubten Chodron. 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. **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.
