We know spiritual transformation and healing, while worth the pursuit, aren't easy under the best of circumstances - and certainly challenging in a maximum-security prison. The movie "The Dhamma Brothers" is a testament to the challenges, possibilities, and satisfactions of deep inner healing. "This compelling documentary follows a group of prisoners at a maximum-security Alabama penitentiary as they embark on a transformative odyssey by immersing themselves in a grueling 10-day meditative retreat rooted in Buddhist teachings. During the wrenching course of self-examination and self-discipline, the inmates are forced to confront their crimes, inner demons and dark memories - which ultimately puts them on a path to deep-seated healing."

Neil Snipes will lead the discussion. For the pot-luck, bring anything "movie-watching" friendly and/or red in honor of Valentine's Day. Our offering will go to Buddhist Peace Fellowship. Please join us!
