Jim Binkley, Rest In Peace

Jim Binkley, who led the Washington D.C. Buddhist Studies Group for many years passed away on Saturday 2021 November 27th.

The first word that comes to my mind when I think about Jim is “kindness”.

Jim had many kind conversations with me over the years. Conversations that I learned a lot from in Jim’s in gentle manner.

Jim will forever be an example to me of someone who lived life in a kind way, and truly having a Buddhist attitude towards the vicissitudes in life.

I will forever be grateful to him for keeping The Washington D.C. Buddhist Studies Group going for so many years despite all of the effort and time he had to put into it. I’ve gotten a lot out of the group over the years and I have Jim to thank for a large portion of that.

I hope wherever his it is fantastic for him.

I wish the best with all of my heart for his family and friends.
