Friends,
For this Tuesday, Dec. 16 Eastside Insight gathering, we'll explore the life of the Buddha through photos and maps. Our thought is that as Christmas is a sacred time in our culture honoring Jesus Christ, it’s appropriate to also take this time to honor this great being of Asia, the Buddha.
Many of the photos were taken during my own pilgrimages to India and Nepal. These images bring the Buddha’s life and journey alive, in ways that may be inspiring to you on your own inner journey, as they have been to myself.
We’ll be gathering at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 16, continuing our new schedule of 1st and 3rd Tuesdays.
Email stevellen95@comcast.net please for the URL for the evening , 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 series 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 the complexity of 2025. May your hearts be at ease.
With bows and love,
