Dear Friends,
Bhikkhu Bodhi, one of the foremost Buddhist translators and scholars in the world, is coming to the St. Louis area in early June 2013.
Please find attached three posters for the upcoming events with Bhikkhu Bodhi here in St. Louis. To register, please contact donshushu@cbt-stl.com ASAP. Information will be provided about the event and overnight stays, seating, etc.
Note that seating is very limited for this Teaching Retreat. We have space only for around 40 people. Already almost half the spots have been accounted for. Therefore, people will be accepted on a first-come basis. Regretably, we can only accomodate people who can register for both days. Overnight stays are available also on a limited basis.
The events are as follows.
1) Vesak Day -- Sunday, June 2 -- No preregistration needed
2) Bhikkhu Bodhi Teaching Retreat, Friday and Saturday, June 7-8 -- Preregistration required, limited space
(Suggested donations: $50 for food and facilities; $50 for teachings. No one turned away for financial reasons. Additional donations for the teachings are welcome.)
3) Global Relief Walk, Sunday afternoon, June 9 at the St. Louis Arch
This is a rare event to have Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi visit us. Please make your plans early. The retreat space is very limited, so please sign up early to reserve your space.
With metta,
Xiankuan Don Shushu

Go Deeper with Buddhism through Saturday Study - starts March 17, 2018
Ozarks Dharma Community is happy to announce a new Saturday Study, every third Saturday of the month starting March 17, 2018. Led by ODC Facilitators, Saturday Study will explore the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path.
What are the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path? The Buddha taught about “dukkha”, an ancient Indian word frequently translated as suffering. However, dukkha can also be translated as stress, unsatisfactory, unease, out-of-joint, out-of-synch, etc.
The Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths that: dukkha occurs; dukkha is caused by craving, which arises out of ignorance, attachment and aversion; dukkha ceases; and we can cultivate an Eightfold Path that leads to the cessation of dukkha.
That path entails a practice by which we can learn to pay attention to and become skillful in eight inter-related domains of our behavior: views, intention, speech, conduct, livelihood, effort, concentration, and mindfulness.
