It is very incredible – despite not having ever left the United States,Continue reading “Inspiring Buddhist Tales, pt 1”

Urban Dharma, Asheville North Carolina
So I got to spend a couple days with friends and Sangha members in North Carolina. It was very pleasant – fulfilling, relaxing and potent. I had heard much about Urban Dharma, having seen it in its planning stages and hearing about all the developments, but I had yet to visit – either Asheville orContinue reading “Urban Dharma, Asheville North Carolina”
North Carolina pilgrimage in Asheville
Who’d’ve thunk it? Going on a Buddhist pilgrimage in North Carolina… Well that’s right! One does not instantly think of Buddhism when N.C. is mentioned. But I am here to attend teachings by Khenpo Choephel at Urban Dharma in Asheville NC. And to rest down in the midst of everything! Picking up Khenpo from theContinue reading “North Carolina pilgrimage in Asheville”

a fool’s poem
Holiday Greetings from Beyond Come Play With Me, it said. NO!! I’m afraid… I cried. Yes, I Understand, It’s Okay To Come Closer, it replied. NO! I don’t want to get hurt again! Go away! Look Down… You Will Find That Your Next Step Is But a Tiny Hop Down, it cajoled. NO! I’m afraidContinue reading “a fool’s poem”
More about UVa, six months after graduating
As a recent graduate of the University, and having lived in and around Charlottesville for more than 10 years now, I have some unique perspectives (as both a “townie” and a past “student”).
