Friends,
For this Tuesday, Dec. 2 Eastside Insight gathering, out of respect for the inner values of the holiday season, we’ll be exploring parallels between the Sermon on the Mount and what the Buddha taught.
Jesus' Sermon on the Mount is often considered his most eloquent and powerful sermon, with deep guidance about ethical choices and sacred values. The parallels with the Buddha's teachings are uplifting and inspiring, showing us key commonalties between these two traditions.
We’ll be gathering at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 2, continuing our new schedule of 1st and 3rd Tuesdays.
The URL for the evening will be available by email to Steve at stevellen95@comcast.net, or please come in person to the chapel at Northlake Unitarian Universalist Church, 315 3rd Ave S., Kirkland, WA 98033.
Please consider offering dana to Northlake Unitarian Universalist Church, which makes this space available on a dana-only basis, in a very kind and generous way. If you do, please mention you’re from Eastside Insight Meditation.

Big bows to the kind sangha members who help set up for these evenings, now Tuesdays. It’s hugely helpful when you can help before, and say you’ll be helping. Thank you!

Looking ahead, you’re warmly invited to the Eastside six-week introduction to meditation series, which I’ll be teaching on six Wednesdays, starting Jan. 21.
The series will be in person and online, so your location is not an issue. While billed as an introduction, people often join who want to refresh or restart their practices. We always have fun…please share with your friends!

This will be in parallel with a similar class taught by Keri Pederson on Thursdays in Seattle, starting Jan. 22.
Both will end with a joint day of mindfulness in Seattle, Feb. 28,
May you find happiness and balance, in the midst of complexity. May your hearts be at ease.
With bows and love,
Steve
