Show Me Dharma

08/26/2025

A wonderful opportunity to join many wonderful teachers to help foster the "we-network" -- shifting us from the narrative self to experiential presence, from isolation to interbeing, from noise to "Revolutionary silence."

In an era when old paradigms are dissolving and new ones have yet to take root, we gather for one luminous evening to honor the "Bodhisattva Path&q...

Reminder: Dharma & Democracy meeting today Sunday 3:00-4:00 pm Central! Use the same link as for Sunday and Tuesday Meditations.

On November 5th our country entered a new chapter in its evolution as a democracy. Projections into the future abound regarding how we individually, collectively as a nation and globally as a world will be impacted by the results of this election.
To rise and meet this moment, we can, in Roshi Halifax's words, cultivate a strong back and soft front. Love is the most important muscle in transformation. In this moment, what is love asking?
Please join our monthly forum: Dharma and Democracy, facilitated by Mary Jo Bennett. We will meet the first Sunday of each month @3-4pm CST on Zoom.

Feeling Overwhelmed?

Getting more centered, even for a few moments, can help us settle into our own body and mind and not be so overcome by the agitation, or pressure, or chaos that may be happening around us.

• Use doorways as a way to focus your attention on where you are. As you come to that in-between space, feel your feet against the floor. This can bring you right into the present moment and help ground you.

• Before beginning work, set an intention for the day. For example, “May I treat everyone today with respect, whether I agree with them or not, whether I like them or not. I want to end the day free of regrets about how I speak to others.” This will give you a sense of purpose no matter what is happening.

• Take a few minutes of quiet, and move your attention from seeing, to hearing, to the sensation of touch in your body. This is a way of getting centered, and it’s especially helpful in providing moments of respite in a time of chaos or growing anxiety.
