Profile Information

About Me:

I am a spiritual person who has roots in many faiths, I practice yoga, Judaism, and Christianity regularly and incorporate their tenants into my perspective on humanity and life.

I am interested in using yoga to work with people with mental illness. I am socially conscious to the point where at times I have great ideas to help, but have only taken action a few times.

At 12:59am on January 16, 2009, stephanie carter said…: Hey, we have something in common...I'm really interested in using yoga as a mental health treatment too...and like you, I have so many ideas and haven't really put things into action. Maybe we can inspire each other...

At 11:48pm on January 15, 2009, Ven. J.M. Dharmakara Boda said…: It might help to always approach the Buddhist tradition within the "present moment" --- it's not stagnant, even though some teachers attempt to present it as if one's practice should be set in concrete. Practice begins and ends with every breath one takes.

At 11:28pm on January 15, 2009, Ven. J.M. Dharmakara Boda said…: No religion, society, or culture ever developes in a vaculm --- cause and effect. In Shantideva's case, he was influenced by the world around him and the suffering he witnessed, but I wouldn't say that violence changes into a smaller type or form of suffering, especially since a foundation of the Bodhisattva path is the embracing of that suffering, which then allows it to be transformed into compassion.

At 11:18pm on January 15, 2009, Ven. J.M. Dharmakara Boda said…: Most of my work these days is in the area of hospice and HIV/AIDS healthcare, also one of the reasons I continue to live near Skid Row. The location has its challenges, not only those typical of the inner-city, but also in Dharma practice. One of the advantages over residing in Tarragona is the fact that there are so many university libraries with excellent collection, so I also serach for hard to find books and digitalize them for inclusion on our other website.

At 7:17pm on January 15, 2009, Ven. J.M. Dharmakara Boda said…: So, you're in the Granola State too? (LOL) I'm in downtown Los Angeles on the outskirts of Skid Row, about two blocks from Little Tokyo.
