Hi everyone,
My name is Lisa and Iam a seeker of religious and spiritual wisdom. I study mythology and world religions so Buddhism has been on my radar for over thirty years but I never seriously started to study it until last year. Let’s just say my world view of eat, drink, and be merry has shifted to trying to overcome the Dukka I feel is permeating the world right now. So I am here to learn how to overcome the rising and falling of Samsara.
Thank you,
Lisa

"the Dukka I feel is permeating the world right now"
Bikkhu Bodhi has a similar feeling according to his recent political activism.

Welcome!
To study is to know the texts,
To practice is to know your defilements,
To attain the goal is to know and let go.
- Ajahn Lee Dhammadharo
With no struggling, no thinking,
the mind, still,
will see cause and effect
vanishing in the Void.
Attached to nothing, letting go:
Know that this is the way
to allay all stress.

Re: Hello from Cape Cod MA
Thank you, I have been looking for a Sangha or meditation group. I have severe mental illness so it may be hard to face social phobia in a group especially in meditation. I will try to look into this group as it sounds like something I would like to join.
