new dharma for urban peace

visited oakland/emeryville this weekend to check out and praktis with the iSANGHAmahal at new dharma center. i was warmly invited by the sangha and it was a wonderful visit - with hopes to return again for a short retreat this summer. may the conditions arise to see angel, marie and others at the center. we goin' for it. praktisin', leanin' into...cultivatin' bodhisattva awareness in the midst of confusion and decay. we lean into the impossibility, because maybe a passing moment may be realized, that the joy of livin' lies in this very act. to create space for possibility, for growth and transformation in the midst of impossibility. to surprise ourselves...even for just a passing moment...thank you for opening the space and allowing me to visit, and take in the energy. peace to the new dharma center and its future.
