Dear Friends

Please join us this Sunday, February 27 at 6:30pm EST, as we hold our weekly WMC mindfulness practice via Zoom.

After sitting meditation we’ll read the Five Awarenesses, and watch the second section of the dharma talk we began last Sunday entitled ‘War and Peace Within’. In this talk Thay says: “Our enemy is not the other person. Our enemy is the seed of despair, anger, frustration, fear, in every one of us. You are not my enemy. I want you to practice with me in order to transform the seeds of suffering in me and in you."

After the video, we’ll have an opportunity to share about our own experiences of transforming suffering and being peace in our own practice during dharma sharing. You can watch the video at:

If you would like to join us virtually, please write to us at wmcsangha@gmail.com, and we will send you the Zoom link for the meeting.

Our Sangha is supported by dana - donations given from the heart. A large part of your tax deductible donation goes to help the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation (which right now is pretty much all that is supporting our monks and nuns in monasteries around the world). Your generosity also helps support the Vihara (the monastery that hosts our meetings in DC in ‘normal’ times), WMC expenses, the library, and your own practice. These remain difficult times for so many, but if you can afford to make a contribution, you can do so via the Donate page on this website.

Be well, take good care of yourselves and each other, and we’ll see you Sunday! ️

❤️
