Buddhist Book Group Discussion

This month we'll be discussing Being Zen: Bringing Meditation to Life by Ezra Bayda. We can use whatever life presents, Ezra Bayda teaches, to strengthen our spiritual practice—including the turmoil of daily life. What we need is the willingness to just be with our experiences—whether they are painful or pleasing—opening ourselves to the reality of our lives without trying to fix or change anything. But doing this requires that we confront our most deeply rooted fears and assumptions in order to gradually become free of the constrictions and suffering they create. Feel free to join even if you haven't read the materials ahead of time.
