Tibetan Buddhism.
It’s an ancient curriculum of study, analysis, contemplation, meditation, practice and engagement.
Along the way, its primary reason for being is this: to help us better understand how our minds work, and then use what we’ve learned to establish and nourish consistent mental health and well-being.
Because of its exotic source, demands for awareness and mindfulness and procedural notions of infinite time, ongoing rebirth and enlightenment, many consider the Dharma path to be somewhat mysterious and daunting.
Intimidating, even.

Well, here’s the skinny . . .
There is no mystery to Buddhism, nor is there anything harmful, formidable or disheartening.
Quite the opposite, actually.
To approach and take-in the teachings requires nothing more than an act of will.
We make-up our minds to work towards being intuitively wiser, more generous, understanding, confident, kind and patient and then create the causes for that to occur.
Really, it’s as simple as that.

Carrying the Buddhist perspectives into your life requires no religious doctrine, dogma or blind faith.
They are perfectly safe for all, and quite progressive.
In fact, many people remark that they sometimes seem not to be new ideas or concepts, but empowering reminders of deeply important things they have intuitively known for years to be true.
We call the everyday workings of wholesome Buddhist notions and perspectives DharmaPractics.
Yes . . . practical Dharma . . . brought to life.
~Neither grief or a broken heart, or fear, precludes you from benefiting from it.
