Urban Dharma - Changing Minds, Transforming Cities

And so we start "Urban Dharma." A place where Dharma can take roots in Appalachian soil, a place where Sangha can grow in our cities. A place in the Blue Ridge Mountains where Buddhas are born. How's that for a mission?

I invite you to help build Urban Dharma. I invite you to walk with me on this journey, to do the work of Buddhas. And we begin here. Right here where each of you reading this have been invited to be "authors" of this blog. And more importantly, authors of the story of Urban Dharma.

This blog is where we share our ideas and ideals. This is where we inform each other of our progress. This is where we ask, and answer, seek clarification, express confusion. This is where we communicate and connect. This is where we pay attention to each other, bridging physical distance and temporal limitations.

Let's start!
