Thank you for helping us select a passage for our passage study this month. The votes are in and we’re pleased to announce you’ve chosen “The Saint” from the Dhammapada.
Focusing on a passage together is an enjoyable and meaningful way to experience a deeper sense of satsang together. Clearly this was a popular activity, so we’ll plan to offer more passage studies in the future and will ask you to vote again.
In the meantime, feel free to do this month’s activity with this passage, or choose another passage that appeals to you more, and you can still follow along with our activities.
This week, we ask you to think of having some fun with this passage, without worrying about committing it to memory.
Some examples of fun might be reading the passage aloud at a different pace or volume than usual, or in different voices. You could also review the passage in a relaxed way, in your favorite chair or outdoor space. You might write it out with colored pens, or doodle some images the passage suggests to you. Or maybe you’d like trying to identify patterns you see in the words and letters – it’s up to you!
Is there something you do to familiarize yourself with passages in an enjoyable way? Feel free to be playful with this activity and then share your ideas about what you might door what you’ve tried! We’d love to brainstorm this together.
