Thanks for coming for our DAYWA Discussions session on Sunday. :) We explored grief and loss, and whether feeling grief means our practice has failed. The Piyajātika Sutta: a grieving father is told sorrow arises from those we hold dear, often read as "stop loving to stop hurting." We reflected instead that it may simply point to something human: what becomes precious to us also becomes capable of breaking our hearts. Even the Buddha's response to loss was not cold or distant. At Ukkacelā, he named the Sangha as feeling empty after losing his two chief disciples, showing wisdom doesn't necessarily erase human tenderness. Grief in waves, not steps: the Dual Process Model showed us that oscillating between grieving and re-engaging with life isn't inconsistency, it's healthy. The waves returning is expected and unavoidable, but judging or beating ourselves up for it is optional. Grief is not a spiritual failing. It just shows that people matter to us. Join us for our weekly DAYWA Sits session tomorrow!

Thank you for joining us for another in-person sits and bringing snacks afterwards! We used to have communal snacks after our in-person sits 3–4 years ago, and they were a great way to catch up with each other. (We're wondering if we should bring this tradition back! Let us know if you'd like us to continue having these after our in-person sits. 😊)

🌱 Yesterday morning, 45 of us headed down to Ground-Up initiative (GUI) as part of our Q2 Cares event for a meaningful hands-on experience like no other! From tending to the farm 🌾, to landscaping the grounds 🌿, to getting their hands busy with woodwork 🪵 — our participants dived right in and embraced every moment of it. One of the most powerful takeaways from today? A deeper appreciation for the food on our plates. 🥦🥕 Hearing how long it takes for vegetables to grow from seed to harvest was a real eye-opener for us. It's easy to take a meal for granted — but today reminded us of the patience, effort, and care that goes into every bite. Thank you all for your effort today. Here's to more adventures, more learning, and more growing — together. 💚 We are also conducting weekly evening meditation this Wednesday. Do sign up here 😉

Sunday scaries? 😱 Take the week on with a dose of caffeine and mindfulness 🍵🧘! Yesterday, 45 of us spent the morning with Dharma Drum Mountain for a Tea Chan (Zen) session, exploring how mindfulness can extend beyond the meditation cushion and into everyday activities. Thanks to your generosity, we also raised $675 for Dharma Drum Mountain. Please rejoice with us in sharing these blessings and supporting a community that helps many on their path. After all, none of us got here alone! We too, have benefited from the kindness and support of others. 🙏 Until next time ☕️!(?) iykyk
