Our lives are a tangle of challenges – family, work, and trying to hold onto inspiration. And, there\u2019s no simple recipe for success, however, there are creative responses. How do we summon that creativity when \u201clife\u201d happens? One way, tested over the centuries by curious contemplatives, is by being still\u2013not for hours or days, but for moments and minutes, and turning our attention to our senses. When we\u2019re still, we can see, hear, taste, and feel with greater clarity, and while that may not always be completely pleasant, it is completely present; it is \u201cnow\u201d where we can create the shape of our response in keeping with deeper inspiration.<\/p>

This is how we sustain the kind and wise intention of \u201cDharma\u201d in our lives by returning attention to the present moment and choosing our words and actions to raise a smile and ease a painful heart.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nalandabodhi Philadelphia is inviting you to join them for a Dharma Night with Mitra Mark Power on how to stay creative when “life” happens.\u00a0Dharma Night is an informal gathering where we talk about dharma and life, learning from each other about our challenges and our unique expressions of creativity. We\u2019ll meditate a little, offer a topic, and talk together. It\u2019s a way of connecting with community with a small investment of time and curiosity. It\u2019s also a way we add our offering of kindness to the suffering in the world.\u00a0<\/p>

If you\u2019re interested in joining Mitra Mark Power for this Dharma Night, please email\u00a0philadelphia@nalandabodhi.org<\/a>\u00a0and they will send you the link.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
