SUMMARY:Sci-Fi Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Sci-Fi Reading Group will meet in the Quiet Reading Room from 7:00pm – 8:30pm to discuss A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr! \nIn the depths of the Utah desert\, long after the Flame Deluge has scoured the earth clean\, a monk of the Order of Saint Leibowitz has made a miraculous discovery: holy relics from the life of the great saint himself\, including the blessed blueprint\, the sacred shopping list\, and the hallowed shrine of the Fallout Shelter.In a terrifying age of darkness and decay\, these artifacts could be the keys to mankind’s salvation. But as the mystery at the core of this groundbreaking novel unfolds\, it is the search itself—for meaning\, for truth\, for love—that offers hope for humanity’s rebirth from the ashes. \nThe Sci-Fi Reading Group meets the third Monday of every month and is open to curious minds\, whether or not they’ve read this month’s selection.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:This offering will be led by Bhante Rathana\, a Buddhist monk originally from Sri Lanka and currently residing at Serenity Central of New England in Jacksonville\, Vermont. He has been dedicated to the path of Dhamma since the age of 13\, and his journey includes over two decades of monastic training\, study\, and teaching in Sri Lanka and the United States. \nAt these sessions\, Bhante will be offering practical guidance in breathing meditation (ānāpānasati)\, loving-kindness meditation (mettā bhāvanā)\, and walking meditation\, rooted in the original teachings of the Buddha as preserved in the Pāli Canon. His approach draws directly from early Buddhist texts\, focusing on mindfulness\, compassion\, and inner peace. \nWith gentle\, step-by-step instruction\, Bhante aims to help participants develop calm\, clarity\, and deeper awareness—whether you are new to meditation or wish to strengthen your practice.
