Featured Speaker: Helen Derbew
Topic: Connection & Intimacy: The Mindful Way

The world is more connected than ever and yet we are living in some of the loneliest times in human history.

What gives?

We have all the connectivity but not as much connection. We have all the sharing of our lives but not as much intimacy.

In this talk, we will explore connection and intimacy through a series of mindful exercises and practices.

Join us this Sunday for a special gathering at Dallas Meditation Center! 🧘✨

Featured Speakers: Nic Bellegarde & Jiyoon Lee
Topic: Life-Affirming Buddhism: How to Engage the Wisdom to Live Well

Many people encounter Buddhist teachings that seem to encourage detachment from life, distrust of emotions, or even withdrawal from the human experience. Certain interpretations of sutras can leave practitioners wondering: Is Buddhism asking us to reject our desires, suppress our feelings, refrain from having children/family life, or see life itself as something to escape?

In this fireside chat, Jiyoon and Nic explore a different possibility. Drawing from our lived experience as practitioners in the Plum Village tradition, we share an authentic conversation about what it means to engage Buddhist wisdom in a way that supports a full, meaningful, and compassionate life. Together, they reflect on how this living tradition can help us cultivate joy, resilience, connection, and purpose while embracing the realities of being human. Join us for an honest and hopeful exploration of how Buddhism can support us not just in understanding life, but in living it well.

Featured Speaker: Angie Liang
Topic: Wisdom from the Heart Sutra

The Heart Sutra is one of the most revered texts in Buddhism. Believed to have originated between the 1st and 5th centuries CE, it rose to prominence after the monk Xuanzang translated it into Chinese in 649 CE, and the versions most widely recited today descend from his translation. The sutra explores the relationship between emptiness and form. Together, we will learn about the history of the Heart Sutra and explore the new translation by Thich Nhat Hanh.

Featured Speaker: Aditi
Topic: Building Belonging

What does it mean to truly belong?

Many of us know what it feels like to be on the outside—to feel disconnected, unseen, or unsure of where we fit. Yet the Dharma offers another possibility: that belonging is not simply something we find, but something we practice.

In this talk, we'll explore mindfulness as a pathway to belonging: learning to come home to ourselves with greater compassion and acceptance and reflecting on what it means to build communities where everyone can flourish. In the spirit of Pride Month and Juneteenth, we'll also consider belonging on a collective level and explore how our practice can contribute to creating Beloved Community.

Together, we'll reflect on how practice can help us feel connected and at home in the world.

Featured Speaker: Drew Crownover
Topic: Buddhism and the Four Horsemen of the Relationship Apocalypse

Research has found that there are "four horsemen" that can lead to the downfall of a relationship: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. Engaging in these behaviors increases the likelihood that a relationship will fall apart. This talk will look at how can we apply Buddhist practices and principles to help us stay away from these "four horsemen of the relationship apocalypse".

Join us this Tuesday (Chase Williams) for a special gathering at Dallas Meditation Center! 🧘✨

Featured Speaker: Chase Williams
Topic: Fireside Chat: Why & How to live Interfaith/Inter-religiously

Center Director Jiyoon is thrilled to host Fireside Chat with her fellow-traveler in inter-religious life, Chase Williams. DMC Founder Brother ChiSing, Uniterian Universalist and Order of Interbeing member in Plum Village tradition envisioned DMC to be a spacious home to interfaith and interreligious dialogue, and Jiyoon, also a UU member practicing in PV tradition is excited to rekindle the vision with this Fireside chat. In this Fireside Chat Jiyoon will introduce her friend, Chase who is dedicated to his spiritual life of Vedanta and UU liberation theology, and talk about why cultivating Interfaith/Inter-religious identity and communities is so important during the divisive times. You will also get to get a glimpse of how Jiyoon and Chase are living the inter-religious life. Our hope is that this conversation will expand all our vision of what spiritual life can BE: affirming all aspects of ourselves, living the LIVING traditions, and connecting communities.

Featured Speaker: Stepan Gordeev
Topic: Treat People Like Dogs

We find it easy to treat animals with compassion, understanding, and grace. Even when they do something "bad", we do not ascribe malice to them, easily explaining their behavior with objective causes and conditions. But we rarely extend similar understanding to fellow humans. Humans, however, are also driven by causes and conditions: they also deserve our compassion and loving kindness as they try to navigate this complicated world to the best of their ability. Treat people the way you would treat dogs!

Join us this Tuesday for a special gathering at Dallas Meditation Center! 🧘✨

Featured Speaker: Matt Gola
Topic: Pith Teachings

Pith teachings are short and sweet, often interpretable and more art than science. They are sometimes little aphorisms and similes that create deeper understanding quickly. Other times they are poems or sayings that are more like instructions. They’re the mystical utterances and enlightened inspiration left behind by great masters. I’ll try to excerpt a few to have small discussion groups with. Hopefully an interactive and fun night and maybe even a little enlightening - but don’t get your hopes up haha!
