Hi Ima

Welcome to DhammaWheel.
I'm looking forward to your contributions.

Here is the Washington DC page of the International Buddhist Directory: http://www.buddhanet.info/wbd/province. ... ince_id=72" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Kind regards

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

My wife and I have both lived in Washington D.C., but at different times before we were married. My wife went to college in Russia and from there went to D.C.

Four types of letting go:

1) Giving; expecting nothing back in return
2) Throwing things away
3) Contentment; wanting to be here, not wanting to be anywhere else
4) "Teflon Mind"; having a mind which doesn't accumulate things
