Due to interest but conflicting schedules, this offering is back for a second month!
During my sabbatical, I delved deeply into the teachings of Buddhism. One book that stood out as especially meaningful and applicable was When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chödrön. Chödrön, an ordained Tibetan Buddhist nun, offers insightful guidance for navigating life’s inevitable challenges.
Drawing from the ancient wisdom of her faith tradition, she teaches that patterns of suffering and negativity can transform into pathways to “ease and boundless joy.” By moving toward painful situations—not away from them—we begin to open our hearts and tend to our minds with compassion.
I invite you to join me in a book discussion held May 23rd from 10-11:30am at the church office. Please RSVP by Friday, May 15.
I hope to see you there!
Warmly,
Rev. Jane
