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 resident teacher of Insight Mediation Society visits the Community center in Harwich once a month there is a sitting group that meets once a week there called the insight meditation circle.
Take care of mindfulness and mindfulness will take care of you.

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

Welcome!
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

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.
