One Dharma Nashville is a meditation group that embraces all Buddhist traditions and is not affiliated with any one. The three main Buddhist traditions of Zen, Theravada and Tibetan have in common certian key elements and practices such as mindfulness, lovingkindness, compassion and non-attachment. These practices took root from Buddha’s strong aspiration that all beings find peace and freedom from suffering. The practices can be utilized by anyone, whether Buddhist or not.
One Dharma Nashville meets each Monday night, 7 – 8:30 at 12 South Dharma Center, 2301 12th Avenue South, the corner of 12th and Linden above Serendipity. Enter on the second floor using the steps at the rear of the building and the door on the right. There is plenty of parking available on 12th Avenue and on Linden. Additional parking is available at the church across the street, however, if you use the church parking lot, please be sure to put a note on your dashboard saying “2301 Building” to avoid being towed.
Whether you are an experienced meditator or completely new to Buddhist teachings and practices, you are welcome to join us for meditation, chanting and discussion. For your first visit, please plan to arrive fifteen minutes early for orientation. There is no cost to attend, but donations are appreciated to help us pay for rent and supplies. Please write Lisa Ernst with any questions.
