The goal of the Washington, DC, Buddhist Studies Group is to support and enhance participants’ practice and knowledge of Buddhism. Our meetings are led by individual volunteer members and typically include readings and discussions of suttas (discourses) by the Buddha from the earliest sources—Theravada, Pali Canon—as well as Buddhist topics closely linked to and supported by the suttas. Topics are wide-ranging, from compassion and mindfulness to how to apply the practice in one’s daily life. Coupled with this, our meetings include very short meditations.
Our small group consists of individuals with varying degrees of experience regarding teachings of the Buddha, and we encourage others to join us who have sincere interest, an open mind, and a loving heart.
