About us
Wishing you all days full of joyfulness and serenity, which becomes more and more sustainable. Thank you for all your support in various ways to help us continue delivering Dharma to a place near you. We'll be holding our meetups on zoom for now so please message me your self-intro at bitadharma22@gmail.com to be on our newsletters for when we're able to meet in-person.
Anyone who has wondered about the following questions will benefit from our meetup sessions:
What's the point of my life repeating the same activities day in, day out?
I keep changing so who am I?
Why is it that my happiness in life never lasts?
I've done many kind acts but they all have backfired on me. What else should I do?
Is life a series of gains and then losses?
Why do we hear so many bad news? How to live a fulfilling life in spite of the negativity that surrounds us.
Buddhism is a teaching that empowers us to practice daily for maximum results. Buddha is the one who attained the highest level of enlightenment that enables one to attain the truth that leads one and all to true and lasting happiness. As we learn the teachings, we also come to gain awareness of our thoughts and the difference between happiness that fades and happiness that does not.
Join us for an informal introduction session and let's get to know each other.
If you have questions about how Buddhism helps with a particular situation in your daily life, feel free to send a message to me and I will make sure to cover them one by one as we advance in our studies.
This meetup event is free for 3 sessions and donations are gladly accepted. In Buddhism, donations are not measured by the amount but by your desire to contribute to a cause greater than ourselves. Thanks to others' generosity, we can sustain these activities for now. It's a beautiful mindset to try to pay it forward. You can support our cause by contributing through PayPal or Venmo at bitadharma22@gmail.com
Although not mandatory, I suggest the following book for our meetup studies if it's possible for you to get it:

Also if you're new to Buddhism, it helps if you watch this video on Buddhism:

Last but not the least, if you're interested but have a schedule conflict, please message me if you'd like a one on one session by offering a contribution. Have a great day everybody and looking forward to many meaningful discussions with you!

Women's Group to Fight Ignorance Not Top to Bottom But Inside Out
·OnlineOnlineHope this message finds you well our friends.
We have had women request a women’s Dharma Workshop, so we’ve decided to try it. We will meet every second Saturday of the month from 2 to 3 pm CST. The format will be brief self-introductions, a dharma slideshow presentation by Lori, followed by questions on the dharma. I will moderate. If you’d like to join us, please send an email to BOTH [bitadharma22@gmail.com](http://mailto:bitae22@hotmail.com/) and Lori at [itsadeal58@gmail.com](http://mailto:itsadeal58@gmail.com/). One email, two recipients is what we’re looking for. In your email, please tell us the following: (1) the names of the Dharma Lab meetups you usually attend, (2) about how many Buddhism meetups you have attended, and (3) where you consider yourself to be along your Buddhist path (e.g. I meditate 3 times a week; I have read extensively about Tibetan Buddhism; I chant twice a day every day; I tried Zen Buddhism, I clean my space every day, I join one of Bita and Yuichi’s meetups each week, etc.); (4) if you’re a contributing member, please let us know. Be sure to sign it with your whole name, especially if you have an email like “itsadeal58”! I don’t want to address you as Ms It Sadeal, that would be rude. Please join us, I think we can make it a good experience for everyone. I’m looking forward to it!
Usually we have about 10-20 women who join us. You won't see all the RSVPs on this page so don't be discouraged by the few RSVPs here! See you soon.This event is about women's empowerment and moving on from a place of hurt to a place of leadership all thanks to the healing power of the Dharma.
I’m Lori. I have been studying Buddhism with Bita and Yuichi for a few years now. I am a retired research chemist and I study French in my spare time (j’adore France). If you’re interested in learning more about mindfulness, or want to learn to meditate, I’m available to help you. I can be reached at [itsadeal58@gmail.com](http://mailto:itsadeal58@gmail.com/), and Bita can be reached at [bitadharma22@gmail.com](http://mailto:bitae22@hotmail.com/) for 1:1 Dharma lessons by offering a contribution.

Buddhism for Newbies: Have You Ever Thought Why Happiness in Life Never Lasts?
·OnlineOnlineHi our Dharma friends,
Either me or a good Dharma friend is going to share the teachings with people new to Buddhism. Once our life is transformed through the Dharma, we can't keep it to ourselves. Hopefully other Dharma friends too will volunteer to share their wisdom too! Join us and study together! We will have Q&As at the end of the presentation too!
The password for zoom is 426646.
We will record this session and upload to our YouTube channel for access by our premium Right View YouTube channel members. Thank you for your understanding.
If you're interested in learning Buddhism but have a schedule conflict, please email Bita at bitadharma22@gmail.com
Below is the self-introduction of one of our presenters:
My name is Pam and I am from Nepal. I have been listening to Buddhist teachings, reading books about Buddhism from the sources of what ever was available in my country , I used to listen to Buddhist monks , gurus . In the beginning of 2020 my husband met one sensei through facebook who was teaching Buddhism online so from there we started listening to Buddhism . We listened in daily basis , we had at least one hour session every day where we learned much more than what we had just learned within my country. Listening to dharma has motivated me in many ways specifically if I could share then it would be being a better person every day . no matter what the world throws at you , no matter how people treat you , no matter what you go through but you make sure that you become a better person . and listening to dharma /Buddhism has really helped me a lot , understanding life, relationships and more. It is just the beginning I feel there’s much more to go , so the best thing is you listen to dharma and feel more deep. Be kind have compassion.
And one more best thing you can do is sharing it. So that many people can benefit in many ways.
Before I was just growing by age but after listening to dharma I am sincerely grown up now , I have learned how to communicate, apologize, be truthful and accept accountability of my deeds / karma without blaming someone else. I'll be happy if I can share that with you too.
Our classes are free for the first 3 sessions. After 3 sessions, if you see the value in joining, please consider offering a contribution.
