Welcome to our Book Discussion
The Book Study Group: This Wednesday, October 14th, at 1:30 pm, our Book Study Group will continue reading from Chapter 2, Pg. 37, “Two Styles of Imprisonment” in our new book, Another Kind of Freedom, by Pema Chodron. Pema Chödrön is an American-born Tibetan Buddhist. She is an ordained nun, former acharya of Shambhala Buddhism and a disciple of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Chödrön has written several dozen books and audiobooks, and was principal teacher at Gampo Abbey in Nova Scotia. She retired in 2020. Please contact Linda at [email protected] for the link to our next meeting. We welcome you!
The Buddhist Study Book Discussion Group. The book discussion group first met in November of 2017. The first book we read was, The Places That Scare You, by Pema Chodron. Since that first meeting, the group has grown and found its path. We read each title, then take our time discussing it. Everyone who cares to can share about the book; we stay on each chapter as long as members want to talk about it. We help each other understand the Buddhist principles contained in the readings. The discussions are often lively, in depth, and meaningful to participants. All Members of The Buddhist Study Group are welcome to join us.
