Hello Friends,
The Riverside Sangha is happy to announce that Reverend Angel Kyodo Williams, Sensei, will lead our Tuesday May 13 Sangha meeting, 7-9pm,
91 Claremont Avenue, at Riverside Church, 13-T
How To Be Fearless
Even though we don't like to admit it, fear governs much of our lives.
From major decisions about life and love to whom we make eye contact
with on the street, fear holds us captive to events of the past and wary
of the unknown future. Instigated by everything from old wounds and
traumas, to unfounded prejudices and hidden beliefs, we bring our fears
to situations like a familiar companion. Insidious and elusive, it's
everywhere and hard to put our finger on.

Thankfully, the Heart Sutra, a
profound and much-loved text offers simple instructions on how to
release ourselves from the rule of fear. Now it's time to apply it.
Join Rev. angel Kyodo williams Sensei for a personal and intimate look
at the role fear plays throughout our lives. and how establishing right
relationship with it liberates its powerful energy so we can truly be of
service to our selves, loved ones and the world.
