The IMC-Lewes Dharma Study Group meets first and third Monday of the month at 5pm. All are welcome.

Beginning Monday, May 1, 2023, the IMC-Lewes Dharma Study Group will begin reading The Places That Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times by Pema Chödrön.

The book is available at Amazon in paperback form for $14.79. Other sellers offer books there and used books are also available, for as low as $6. The book is readily available in paperback from numerous other online sources such as Shambala Publications and AbeBooks.

This book provides essential tools for dealing with the many difficulties that life throws our way, teaching us how to awaken our basic human goodness and connect deeply with others — to accept ourselves and everything around us complete with faults and imperfections. We are given techniques to help us cultivate compassion as we cope with our demons and frustrations.

Amazon’s description: “Pema Chödrön provides essential tools for dealing with the many difficulties that life throws our way, teaching us how to awaken our basic human goodness and connect deeply with others—to accept ourselves and everything around us complete with faults and imperfections. Drawing from the core teachings of Buddhism, she shows the strength that comes from staying in touch with what’s happening in our lives right now and helps us unmask the ways in which our egos cause us to resist life as it is. If we go to the places that scare us, Pema suggests, we just might find the boundless life we’ve always dreamed of.”

We meet on the first Monday on Zoom and in-person at the St. Peter’s Conference Room. We meet on the third Monday on Zoom only.
