*Our Meeting
*
Tomorrow (Sunday, 10/11) we will have a regular meeting, with the following
agenda:

10:30 - 10:35 The Meeting Beginning Ritual. More information in this
link<http://taoism.net/ikuantao/ritual/index.htm>
.
10:35 - 11:00 Bill's presentation.
11:00 - 11:25 Carmen's Corner.
11:25 - 11:30 Five-minute break.
11:30 - 12:25 Derek's continuing coverage of the Tao Te Ching.
12:25 - 12:30 The Meeting Ending Ritual.

Carmen's presentation may be shorter than the 25 minutes allotted above. If
so, we will adjust accordingly.

For the Tao Te Ching segment, we will start with a discussion I alluded to
last time but did not have time to get into: What is the true meaning of the
dragon in ancient Chinese culture? What does it really mean when you say
someone is a dragon? Do you want to be a dragon? What does that mean
exactly, being a dragon?

After that, we will get into chapter 31. I think you will begin to see the
underlying connection between this chapter, chapter 30... and the ancient
concept of the dragon that was detailed in the I Ching, more than 4,800
years ago.

I hope to see you at the meeting, either online or at the temple!

- Derek
