Sangha Spotlight — David Reed

December 18, 2021 by MOI

How long have you been coming to MOI events?

Two years.

How did you get interested in meditation practice?

Through working with others on the 10-step recovery process

Share a memory or feeling you have about MOI.

Walking into MOI and seeing all the cushions and mats were the exact same color as the hoody I was wearing. 😄

What does your meditation practice look like?

Like good food digestion

Share a favorite quote, mantra, intention or saying that is currently guiding you in practice.

The golden rule:  the principle of treating others as one wants to be treated

What is your definition of sangha?

Spiritual friends who are on the same mission as I am

Name a book on the dharma that you consider a must read.

A Monastery Within: Tales from the Buddhist Path by Gil Fronsdal

What are you currently working with in your practice?

Courage in intimacy

What has mindfulness and/or mediation helped you with?

Honesty, open-mindedness and willingness

Tell us about one success story you have had on your dharma journey.

Sharing stories after my first 10-day retreat

Tell us about one challenging story you have had on your dharma journey.

Dealing with isolation when in grief

Finally, what are some of your other interests outside of the dharma?

Golf. Light exercise. People. Coffee.

Thank you, David!  We are so happy you are a part of MOI’s sangha!
