Living a Spiritual Life While Engaged in the World

Do you feel that to be "spiritual" you have to go to a mountaintop or a monastery? Do you love your life in the world - your career, your favorite cafe, your video games? These things do not have to be in opposition. It is possible to be very involved in a life in the world, while also developing your spiritual nature. This is part of the Diamond Approach - being "in the world" but being "not of the world" - that means that we live in the world and enjoy all that it offers, but that life does not take us away from our spiritual nature.

This is a free introductory talk about the Diamond Approach, a modern spiritual path. The setting will be casual.

We will start at 6:30 with a meditation, and then there will be a talk on the topic of what it means to have a spiritual life in modern times, and how that interrelates with a life that includes work, family, friends, and all the things of the world. There will then be a chance to explore this topic in smaller groups, as well as time for questions.

The talk will be in English, but it will be fine if you are not a native speaker, as long as you have a moderate level of English.

There is no fee for this event but advanced registration is required since space is limited. You will get exact location details when you register. It's about a 6-minute from Shimokitazawa Station.

I am also introducing this event on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/DiamondApproachJapan/ and elsewhere so the number of people listed as attending here may not be accurate.
