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 on March 13 from 12 p.m. - 12:50 p.m., we’ll explore “Generosity”, the final pillar that the Dalai Lama and the Archbishop offer as a quality necessary to cultivate joy. Generosity, the authors posit, demands that we resist the competitive values of the modern world and instead recognize our need to depend on other human beings. Considering both the spiritual traditions and the scientific studies offered by the authors, attendees will be invited to explore the concept of compassion through discussion and activities. 

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.
