No Meeting Today

481Dharma will not be meeting today, Saturday July 25th. I repeat, the 11-12:30 group is canceled today. I don't know if anyone will read this before leaving for the studio, but I certainly hope so. I apologize for the trouble. We will still be meeting next Tuesday evening as scheduled.

It's a great explanation of what's going on with American Buddhism these days, and why it's so different from what's come before. This movement is what I want 481Dharma to be a part of.

A Site For Sore Eyes

The 481 website went live on Monday. It can be found at www.481dharma.com.

I'm thinking of doing an "Intro to Meditation" type of class. Jan Byrd at Metta Yoga brought this up to me. Even though I make it a point to state that beginners are always welcome, she thinks maybe some people stay away because they've never meditated and they don't want to come into an already established group. That's a valid point. Despite reassuring beginners that they can come anytime, maybe people would feel more comfortable if there were classes aimed directly at them.

These classes will probably come into being in the next 2 weeks or so. I'll keep everyone posted.
