Join us as we come together as a community to read and celebrate the 2023-2024 Buffs One Read, The Book of Joy.

During this session January 24 from 12:00 p.m. - 12:50 p.m., we’ll explore “Forgiveness”, the fifth pillar that the Dalai Lama and the Archbishop offer as a quality necessary to cultivate joy. Through storytelling and shared memories, the authors describe that forgiveness comes from a sense of compassion for others and results in healing of ourselves and others. Attendees will engage with the concept of forgiveness through discussion and activities to better understand how forgiveness works to break cycles of revenge and harm.

Please feel welcome to attend whether you’ve read the chapter or not. You may read the chapter in the Libraries ebook or explore a chapter summary in our community course!

This event is a part of a series of guided mindfulness practices and book clubs offered in celebration of 23-24 Buffs One Read, sponsored by the University Libraries, the Renee Crown Wellness Institute, and the Contemplative Resource Center.
