Book Club: THE OBSTACLE IS THE WAY By Ryan Holiday

Greetings, students of the Dharma!

You are cordially invited to a new addition in our efforts to bring a current application of the timeless principles of the Dharma into today's world in our everyday life.

We will be offering a discussion of the following literature applicable to our teachings and creating an opportunity to open our minds and expand our thinking:

https://www.amazon.com/Obstacle-Way-Timeless-Turning-Triumph/dp/1591846358

For the first session on December 18, we're planning to share our understanding and questions on pages 1-19 on WHAT IS PERCEPTION? and possibly the next chapter as well.

January 15, 2026 Let's read pages 19-44
RECOGNIZE YOUR POWER
STEADY YOUR NERVES
PRACTICE OBJECTIVITY
ALTER YOUR PERSPECTIVE
IS IT UP TO YOU?

March 2026, Let's read pages 45-61
LIVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT
THINK DIFFERENTLY
FINDING THE OPPORTUNITY
PREPARE TO ACT

The first 3 sessions are free and open to all but if you see the value in it, we would encourage you to make a dana offering to support us sustain these activities. No one is turned away due to lack of funds so just consult with us and we can provide you with other ways of contributing. While we see reciprocity and contributing as an obstacle, perhaps we don't see THE WAY. And our objective here is to see how life's obstacles add to the meaning of life so hope you're serious about turning trials into triumphs.

To receive the Zoom password, you need to first RSVP for this event and email me at bitadharma22@gmail.com about what you're hoping to get out of this book club and I will respond to you.
