I came to an interest in Eastern religions through the writings of Joseph Campbell, moving then to Buddhism via the writings of Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, Surya Das & others. Looking forward to meeting you soon.
Since the Peoria Buddhism Meetup combined with the Peoria Insight Meditation Group in December 2008, the memberships of both groups have grown. The result is very good, and consistent, attendance, a genuine interest in Buddhism and/or in cultivating a spiritual life on the part of those who are coming, honest comments, open discussion, good senses of humor, support for practice, friendliness, and no pressure of any kind (i.e. toward any particular form of Buddhist practice). Also no pressure to attend every meeting: some attend quite regularly but there is an increasingly large group of folks who drop in from time to time. No fee, but donations to support the venue and the teacher are encouraged.
